Product Details
Brand: Cherry Valley Lilacs
Materials: Lilacs, Grand Duke Jasmine, Australian Sandalwood, Moroccan Rose
Volume: 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!

Thank you for your support and appreciation of this ancient craft.

Enfleurage 🌸

Like any artist, I do my work out of an overwhelming desire to express what is contained deep within me. All orders of Lilac Absolute Essential Oil are made to order. It is of my utmost pleasures in the world to prepare this unique and scarce product. It is the tiny breaths of flower whispers, captured in a bottle. I love it dearly and I love to share the experience of the authentic … but, before I expend my precious energies and the precious energies of my beloved flowers, please consider…

Enfleurage is by nature, ephemeral, fleeting, and very light. The pomade captures the quintessential spirit of the flower as it exhales onto a thin layer of fat. There it is held fresh until I extract the lilac absolute essential oil from the fragrant pomade. The essence enters our nostrils, our lungs and our bloodstream, it affects our psyche and changes our being through its authentic flower wisdom. The enfleuraged product does not last long on the skin in comparison to other absolutes, essential oils or department store perfumes. It is ghostly and unusual in every way. It is so rare, I am the only one in the world who makes the real extraction of lilac.

What you are purchasing from me is enfleurage. I make two main products from Lilacs, first the Lilac Enfleurage Pomade, a fragrant creamy moisturizer and lilac skincare treatment, the second product I extract from the lilac pomade is Lilac Absolute Essential Oil …It is a hand made artisan product. It takes time to make and is very precious. It is something that is extremely rare and very expensive. It is not a mainstream product and I can only make a finite amount each year. The May 2022 Better Homes and Gardens article about me, “Heaven Scent” has brought my products to the mainstream however and the average mainstream person may not appreciate the nuanced and delicate scent of enfleurage. Please take note, I cannot refund your purchase simply because it does not smell as you might have imagined, or because it is such a small size, or seems like it is too expensive. I do encourage you to contemplate and consider, read and learn about the art form, Enfleurage, before you order. Note that it is a gamble in many ways. You may not like it, you may be expecting something different, it might not suit your taste, you might not even be able to smell it. Alas, yes, some people are anosmic to the light live scent of enfleurage. Please try the smallest amount available first, then let me know if you have fallen in love, awakened a childhood memory, cried, laughed, or maybe had the first good night’s sleep in a long time from your experience with my enfleurage, then you may order the larger size…

We travel to take care of our Jasmine, Gardenia, and other tropical gardens in the winter after putting our lilacs to bed. And so will be returning to our lilac farm in New York State, in April each year before the bloom.

Lilac season at Cherry Valley Lilacs begins Mother’s Day in May and is spectacular, swift and brief, lasting until the first or second week of June. We do Enfleurage starting in early May with Viburnum, Hyacinth, and Paperwhites, then lilacs in Mid May, with Sweet English Violets, and finish up the season Enfleuraging with Mock Orange and Peonies in late June.

We are a small family farm, open for visitors Mothers Day through Mid June 10-4pm, please call ahead… and we are always available by appointment. You can visit and take the historic educational lilac tour, witness active live enfleurage going on inside the Perfumery. Stroll through the fields with more than 150 varieties of the most fragrant blooming lilacs, in a special treat we call “Lilac Bathing”…. You can purchase lilacs to plant in your garden in our lilac nursery where we grow as many as 60 different cultivars for sale. We also have several workshops each year, for which you can sign up. Our Complete Enfleurage Kit for do-it-yourself Enfleurage is available all year long. Purchase of the Enfleurage Kit comes with my self published How To book, and a full day workshop at the farm or free technical assistance in a video call, or an option for ten hours of CEUs for aromatherapists.

I practice Enfleurage as my primary form of scent extraction, here at Cherry Valley Lilacs. It is my focal jewel, concentrating my efforts to bring the artisan craft to the world of natural perfumery and skin care.

Currently, Cherry Valley Lilacs is the world’s only wholesale supplier of Lilac Enfleurage Absolute Essential Oil and Lilac Enfleurage Organic Pomade, our clients are skin care companies and perfume makers in several countries. This offering allows the retail customer, the small perfumer, aromatherapist, and the natural products formulator to access this rare and amazing ingredient in samples and small quantities, without having to place a large wholesale order. All lilac absolute essential oil is slowly and painstakingly made to order from our stores of lilac pomade, so please allow 2-3 weeks lead time, especially for larger orders.

An energetic healer of the heart, mind, and spirit, Organic Lilac Enfleurage, is a harbinger of joy, calm, and healing golden amber light.

As the gentle Enfleurage absorbs the quintessence of the flower, its ethereal qualities evoke soul memories of our ancestors, birth and rebirth. Lilac is a symbol for kindness and compassion, and brings a feeling of vernal playfulness. It is our belief that we need more of this in the world today.

Recently we have begun full scale Enfleurage of Grand Duke Jasmine, Gardenia, Plumaria, and Tuberose in Mexico and Bali. All organic and sustainably produced tropical floral pomades and absolute oils from Enfleurage will be available in addition to our Lilac, Peony, Hyacinth, and Sweet English Violet Enfleurage products in the coming months.

I have also begun my own small retail products line of perfume oils, serums, and floral butters. Over time you will see these products offered here. Please inquire for larger wholesale orders and professional samples, blending ideas and detailed product specifications.

Come for a visit!

Thank you kindly,
