Product Description
Carnation Absolute PQ is a perfumery-quality carnation: a warm, spicy floral with clove-like, honeyed notes. PQ means it's a perfumery-grade blend of natural and synthetic aroma materials made to capture the scent of carnation flowers. It is not a 100% natural absolute extracted only from carnation.
That makes it a consistent, affordable way to bring carnation into candles, wax melts, reed diffusers, room sprays, soap and fine fragrance.

Using It Safely
Check the IFRA certificate for the maximum use level in each product type before you formulate, and include the declared allergens on your labels. The SDS is available, and IFRA and allergen statements can be requested by email.
Don't apply undiluted to skin. As a perfumery blend, it isn't suitable for aromatherapy, where a 100% natural oil is expected.
FAQs
Is this a natural absolute?
No. PQ (perfumery quality) means it's a perfumery blend, not a 100% natural extract of carnation. For natural materials, see our absolutes and essential oils.
Why choose PQ?
A true carnation absolute is rare and costly. A PQ gives you the scent at a fraction of the price, with the same character batch to batch.
