From Bud to Bottle: The Cassis Story

A jewel of French perfumery, captured from sticky winter buds.

- Harvested from the resinous buds of Ribes nigrum, mainly in Burgundy, France — the historic heart of cassis cultivation.

- Solvent extraction yields a thick, deeply coloured absolute, prized by perfumers since the early 20th century for its true-to-fruit aroma.

- Its character is wild and untamed: green, fruity, animalic and sulfuric all at once — a scent that refuses to be forgotten.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • Use at very low dilution — typically 0.5–1% in carrier oil for topical perfumery applications.

  • Patch test

Apply a diluted drop to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before broader use.

  • Children

Not recommended for children under 6; consult a qualified aromatherapist for older children.

  • Pregnancy

Avoid during pregnancy and nursing unless guided by a qualified professional.

  • Pets

Keep away from cats, dogs and birds; their metabolism processes essential oils differently.

  • Photosensitivity

Not typically associated with photosensitivity.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under qualified professional guidance.

  • Storage

Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place; the absolute is thick and may need gentle warming before use.
