Tanacetum parthenium CO₂ Absolute, extracted from the flowering tops of Tanacetum parthenium (commonly known as Feverfew), is a rare, potent, and highly aromatic botanical material prized in natural perfumery, artisanal skincare, and advanced aromatherapeutic formulations. Produced through supercritical CO₂ extraction, this absolute captures the complete spectrum of the plant’s bioactive aromatic compounds—offering a much truer, richer, and more complete profile than steam-distilled essential oils or solvent-based extracts.

The aroma of Feverfew CO₂ Absolute is uniquely vibrant: intensely herbaceous, green, sweet, balsamic, gently floral, and slightly camphoraceous with subtle honeyed undertones. It has a characteristic clarity and sharpness that make it a distinctive niche ingredient in perfumery and wellness preparations.

Our Tanacetum parthenium CO₂ Absolute is sourced from carefully harvested flowering tops grown in pristine fields, processed using low-temperature CO₂ extraction to preserve delicate sesquiterpene lactones, esters, and aromatic molecules. This ensures exceptional purity, potency, and a full-bodied aromatic profile suitable for high-end botanical formulations.

Aromatic Profile

The scent of Tanacetum parthenium CO₂ Absolute is vibrant, herbal, and deeply complex:

-Top Notes: sharp green herbal tones, fresh-cut stems, mild citrus-herbal lift

-Heart Notes: sweet herbal florals, faint chamomile-like warmth, soft bitter greenness

-Base Notes: resinous balsam, dry woody nuances, subtle honey-like undertones


The aroma is:

-Herbaceous
-Green
-Slightly sweet

Although it shares some characteristics with German chamomile and tansy, Feverfew has its own unmistakably bright, green, lively identity, making it valuable for adding clarity and natural complexity to compositions.
