The intensely green color of Lavandin Concrete can be of some disadvantage when this material goes into a perfume for a white or cream colored soap and the concentration of Lavandin Concrete in the perfume exceeds a few percent, Various methods of decolorization are utilized, but a total removal of all coloring matter without seriously affecting the odor is impossible. The majority of the chlorophyll and related substances can be removed, but even this process affects the odor. Charcoal treatment and subsequent filtration of the hydrocarbon solution of the concrete yields an olive green product, whose color is much less intense than that of the natural concrete.
