Perfumer's Words:
"Absolutes are generally extracted using synthetic solvents. However, the narcissus absolute in Ultra is extracted using a 100% bio-sourced and biodegradable solvent. This is the first of its kind. There are so far very few absolutes extracted using this method. In any case no solvent remains in the finished material. Narcissus absolute is very costly. The current price of the narcissus absolute used in Ultra is €15000/kg. Because of the high cost, it is not common for perfumes to contain real narcissus absolute." (Hiram Green)

Made in the Netherlands

Some will understand Ultra immediately, and some may not - its style, once popular in the grand tradition of 1980s floral-amber showstoppers - is a bit of a curiosity today. But good form and excellent ingredients are timeless, and Ultra celebrates rich, nectarous, and potent yellow florals with narcissus absolute from Lozere, France, and ylang-ylang from the Comoros Islands, with clear jasmine support. It feels as though windswept petals release their pollen to the warm breeze, giving substance to the ephemeral with shape and weight. Narcissus, a rare and expensive flower that is distinctively green-tinted and rich, has a unique leathery-animalic facet, and this is particularly apparent in the drydown of Ultra, as tender petals turn taut and strong, built with sunroasted hay and tobacco.
