Enfleurage is an old method used to extract essential oils, especially from delicate flowers that are not very amenable to distillation or extraction methods.
There are different enfleurage methods (cold, hot etc.) and cold method was preferred.
The process is simply as follows (but not as simple as it sounds):a solid base oil (in the old days animal fats were used) shea butter was preferred, on top of this oil, freshly picked every day, some flowers give off their scent at night, these flowers are picked at night and placed gently on top of the base oil one by one by hand,The next day, the previous day's flowers are removed and replaced with new ones, this process is continued until the base oil reaches a certain saturation, it takes a month, and we are talking about tens of thousands of flowers and processing them one by one.
The fragrance of a flower is the same as it smells on the branch, without any deficiency or excess, since there is no external intervention in the plant in the enfleurage technique, which is one of the most natural methods of obtaining oil, there is not the slightest deformation in the odor profile.
The product obtained afterwards is called Pomade, if desired, this pomade is subjected to a series of processes again, solid base oil and essential oils are separated, if desired, it can be used as a solid perfume like cream.
The product we offer you is Pomade in cream form
Note: You should not expect a perfume persistence from this pomade, because your skin will absorb the oil and essential oils.
