This Absolute is perfect for use in perfumery, with a deep and complex aroma.
From the sun-washed fields of the Bulgarian mountains comes one of the most exquisite and therapeutic floral extracts in the world — Bulgarian Lavender CO₂ Absolute.
Distinguished by its remarkable depth, balance, and purity, this extract captures the true aromatic identity of Lavandula angustifolia, a plant revered for centuries as the flower of serenity and healing.
Lavender has been revered since ancient times — from Roman baths and Egyptian temples to medieval apothecaries.
In Bulgaria, lavender replaced roses as a national aromatic treasure, thanks to its purity and remarkable yield.
For centuries, its scent has symbolized tranquility, cleanliness, and divine grace, bringing harmony to both sacred and domestic spaces.
Today, its CO₂ absolute stands as the most authentic expression of lavender’s timeless magic — bridging traditional healing with modern natural luxury.
While steam-distilled lavender oil is widely known, CO₂ extraction produces a richer, more complete essence. This advanced process preserves both the volatile and non-volatile aromatic compounds — yielding a smoother, warmer, and more luxurious version of lavender’s timeless fragrance.
The result is a golden, velvety absolute that mirrors the living flower itself: sweet, herbaceous, floral, and profoundly comforting.
Aroma and Olfactory Profile
The scent of Bulgarian Lavender CO₂ Absolute is round, deeply floral, and elegantly balanced, expressing the terroir of Bulgaria’s fertile valleys and clean mountain air.
Top Notes: bright, fresh, slightly fruity and green
Heart Notes: soft floral, creamy, honeyed, herbaceous
Base Notes: warm, sweet, and subtly woody
This CO₂ extract delivers a truer botanical representation of the lavender flower compared to distilled oils, preserving subtle waxes, coumarins, and esters that enrich its scent and fixative quality.
Its aroma feels simultaneously pure and sensual — fresh enough for daytime clarity, soft enough for intimate calm.
Chemical Composition
The CO₂ extraction retains a broad spectrum of constituents, giving the oil its unique therapeutic depth. Typical composition includes:
-Linalool (25–35%)
-Linalyl acetate (25–30%)
-Lavandulyl acetate
-β-Caryophyllene
-Camphor (trace levels)
-1,8-Cineole
-Terpinen-4-ol
-Coumarin and non-volatile esters (natural fixatives).
This rich chemistry contributes to lavender’s anti-inflammatory, relaxing, and skin-restorative qualities. The CO₂ version, in particular, contains heavier aromatic molecules that lend exceptional longevity and depth in perfumery.
Therapeutic and Emotional Benefits
-Relaxant & Anxiolytic Calms the nervous system, eases tension, and supports restful sleep.
-Anti-inflammatory & Healing Soothes irritated skin, burns, insect bites, and minor wounds.
-Antimicrobial & Purifying Naturally disinfects and refreshes the skin and air.
-Balancing & Regenerative Helps regulate sebum production and promotes cell renewal.
-Aromatherapeutic Harmony Clears emotional fatigue, encourages self-love, and uplifts the spirit.
Lavender CO₂ Absolute is the quintessential balancing oil — restoring harmony to both body and mind. Its aroma gently releases anxiety and stress, inviting a state of peaceful clarity.

Sustainability and Production
Bulgaria’s lavender fields — often referred to as the “purple gold” of the Balkans — are cultivated under sustainable and pesticide-free practices.
Flowers are harvested at peak bloom and carefully extracted with supercritical CO₂, a green, non-toxic solvent that ensures environmental integrity and exceptional aromatic fidelity.
This method preserves both the flower’s volatile top notes and heavier waxes, producing an extract closer to the living plant.
Each batch reflects the terroir of its region, making Bulgarian lavender the benchmark for global aromatherapy and perfumery.
