Wild Lilac Attar, Sample Size, Enfleurage Lilac Oil Absolute, organically grown and extracted on a base of organic Australian Sandalwood 2ml

Wild Lilac Enfleurage Absolute is the final extraction from the long and arduous Enfleurage process. In this Attar, the wild lilacs are enfleuraged into a pomade after 30 or more flower exchanges. The essence is then extracted upon a light dusting of Organic Australian Sandalwood. I blend a drop of my Grand Duke Jasmine oil and a drop of Moroccan Rose oil for a luxurious complex perfume oil.

The result is a perfumed Attar that evokes a blissful spring walk through an exotic garden, opening into a secret sacred and ancient space. It is aromatherapy for the tired and uninspired, bringing vernal energy and playful creativity to life. It can be a great and powerful heart opener, memory inducer, and calming toner for the psyche.

This listing is for a SAMPLE SIZE of 2ml. Comes with a roller ball top in a tiny blue glass bottle that holds 2.5 ml. The 5ml bottle and the 1 ml vial are sold in separate listings.

All materials used in the making of this ethereal product are wild crafted from wild lilacs, naturalized in the landscape and sustainably collected.

I do not use steam distillation, it is too hot and destroys the lilac essence. The method I use has at least two phases. The first phase is I extract the lilac onto a layer of vegetable fat in the age old process known as enfleurage. This involves allowing the flowers to rest on the fat that has in this case, been infused with sandalwood, I perform as many as 60 flower exchanges over a period of at least 28 days of bloom time. This produces a beautifully fragrant pomade. The second phase is extracting the lilac and sandalwood absolute from the pomade. This is where I have developed a unique cold distillation process, using cool temperatures so as to not ruin the lilac essence. I use all organic materials to do this, first dissolving the lilac and sandalwood pomade in organic alcohol and allowing it to migrate into the alcohol over a period of months. then I freeze the suspension in a freezer at 20 degrees F or less. In order to remove all the fat from the extrait, I use a highly specialized filtration process, and perform the freeze/filter cycle three times. Then I cold distill the extrait which takes about five hours to produce one batch of approximately 5 ml, one teaspoon, if I am continuously pure of heart and mind throughout the process, and the Angels are smiling upon me. You can attend one of my workshops to learn the whole process, or visit Cherry Valley Lilacs in upstate NY to see it in process. I am very transparent in my processes and love to turn on other perfumers and chemists to The Art of Enfleurage. I am also writing a book by that name, to be published soon! Thank you!
