Tomato Leaf Absolute — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Tomato Leaf Absolute is a green, herbaceous, and intensely natural aroma extract obtained from the leaves and stems of the tomato plant ( Solanum lycopersicum ). Its scent is unmistakable — crisp, vegetal, and sun-warmed , evoking freshly crushed leaves in a summer garden.
In perfumery, it is a highly prized green note , known for its vivid realism and emotional freshness. It adds a raw, living quality to compositions — the scent of growth, warmth, and authenticity. Though rarely used in mainstream perfumery due to its potency, artisans and niche perfumers value Tomato Leaf Absolute for its ability to capture the essence of nature itself .
At Herbsmetics, Tomato Leaf Absolute is featured in our Perfume Workshops in Phuket , where guests discover how this surprisingly elegant plant extract bridges the natural and artistic sides of perfumery — fresh, nostalgic, and modern all at once.
