Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) cannot be steam-distilled; its fragrance material is produced exclusively as a solvent-extracted absolute. The absolute is characterised by methyl benzoate, benzyl benzoate, farnesol, methyl salicylate, and various lactones and esters that together create its intensely rich, creamy-floral scent. Formal pharmacological data on the absolute are limited; it is used principally as a high-value perfumery ingredient rather than a therapeutic agent.^[1]
