Concretes

Concretes are highly concentrated aromatic materials extracted from plants. The multi-step process includes first extracting the aromatic oil from the plant material with a solvent such as hexane. After the hexane is removed what is left behind is a waxy substance called a concrete. This semi-solid to solid highly fragrant material contains a large amount of pigments and waxes. Due to their waxy texture, concretes are perfect for making solid perfumes. They have a somewhat delicate, yet long lasting aroma and are soluble in both carrier oil and alcohol, though often it is necessary to filter any insoluble waxes and solid material that remains. Please see Extraction Methods in Aromatherapy 101 for more information on Concretes and Absolutes.
