Fir Balsam Absolute

Profile

Fir Balsam Absolute is curated in this catalog as a balsamic material, with a secondary reading of piney.

On the strip it reads Balsamic evergreen.

It is registered under CAS 8021-28-1.

No atmospheric boiling point is curated for Fir Balsam Absolute, so its behaviour is read from curated diffusion and fixative values rather than from an estimated figure. On that reading it belongs to the base.

It evaporates slowly and anchors the drydown, still readable on skin hours after the top notes have gone.

The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.
