Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Broom Absolute and Genet Absolute?
They are the exact same botanical extract. "Genet" is simply the traditional French perfumery term for the absolute extracted from the flowers of the Spanish Broom plant (Spartium junceum).
What does Broom (Genet) Absolute smell like?
It has a highly complex, warm, and sweet aroma. It is most famous for its strong resemblance to wild honey, beeswax, and toasted hay, complemented by sweet floral top notes and a slightly herbaceous, tobacco-like base.
Is this a good vegan alternative to Beeswax Absolute?
Yes, it is considered the premier vegan alternative to Beeswax Absolute. Because it naturally possesses a rich, waxy, honey-like aroma, plant-based and cruelty-free perfumers rely on Genet to create authentic honey accords.
How do I use Broom Absolute in perfume formulation?
Broom Absolute functions primarily as a heart-to-base note and an excellent natural fixative. Use it sparingly to add warmth, sweetness, and tenacity to floral bouquets, or to soften and sweeten intense leather, wood, and tobacco blends.
Is Sai Perfume's Broom Absolute 100% pure?
Absolutely. Our Broom Absolute is 100% pure and natural, carefully extracted from Spartium junceum flowers. We never use synthetic extenders, artificial honey fragrances, or cheap diluents.
Can I apply Broom Absolute directly to my skin?
No. Like all absolutes, Genet is highly concentrated. You must always dilute it significantly in a high-quality carrier oil (like Jojoba or Sweet Almond oil) or perfumer's alcohol before it touches your skin.
Why is the oil so thick and viscous?
Because the absolute is extracted from delicate flowers that contain natural plant waxes, the resulting oil is very thick and resinous. If it is difficult to pour, tightly seal the bottle and warm it gently in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes prior to use.
Which essential oils blend best with Genet?
It is incredibly versatile. It blends beautifully with heavy florals (Rose, Tuberose, Ylang Ylang), citrus (Bergamot, Sweet Orange), earthy roots (Vetiver, Patchouli), and other rich absolutes (Oakmoss, Vanilla, Ambrette).
Does Broom Absolute have aromatherapy benefits?
Yes. In holistic practices, the sweet, sun-drenched aroma of Genet is used to comfort the mind, uplift the spirit, and combat feelings of lethargy, stress, and seasonal sadness.
What is the botanical name for the Broom plant used here?
Our pure Broom Absolute is extracted from Spartium junceum, commonly known as Spanish Broom, which yields the finest and most aromatically complex absolute for luxury perfumery.
