What It Does

Anthoxanthum Odoratum Flower/Leaf Extract, known as the 'Flouve Signature Absolute,' is derived from sweet vernal grass, a fragrant perennial grass whose characteristic scent comes from coumarin released upon cutting or drying. This extract is prized in luxury cosmetic and perfumery formulations for its distinctive warm, hay-like, tonka bean-adjacent aroma with subtle green and floral nuances, making it a sophisticated natural alternative to synthetic coumarin-based ingredients. Formulators select it for its dual role as a natural fragrance component and mild skin-conditioning agent, lending an artisanal, botanical character to premium skincare and haircare products.
