Experience the captivating aroma of this exceptional gardenia oil, which has been extracted using an ancient French technique known as enfleurage. The gardenia flowers used to create this oil were organically grown in the Andes Mountains of Colombia, where they flourished in the natural environment. They were carefully harvested by skilled farmers and taken to the production facility, where they underwent a meticulous process of enfleurage.
During the process, the freshly picked gardenia flowers were placed on a bed of solid oil medium, which absorbed the precious aromatic oils from the petals. This process was repeated every few days for 12 weeks until the oil was infused with the full depth and richness of gardenia's natural fragrance. The artisan producer carefully determined the strength and concentration of the final enfleurage oil by choosing the length of time and the amount of flowers used.
This premium gardenia oil is produced with immense care and attention to detail, unlike lower-quality oils that are produced quickly with fewer flowers. Due to the limited amount produced over three months, bulk sizes are unavailable. However, the quality of this gardenia oil is unparalleled, with its higher aromatic tenacity that retains its scent even 24 hours later.
The scent of this gardenia oil is exceptionally complex, with a sweet and floral fragrance that is both uplifting and refreshing. It captures the essence of the natural environment where the gardenia flowers were grown, with all their integral complexity. Indulge in the captivating scent of this gardenia oil and experience the beauty of nature in its purest form.
The producer of the Gardenia enfleurage employs artisanal methods and uses certified USDA organic, kosher, non-GMO palm oil that is both sustainable and locally sourced. The oil is produced without the use of pesticides or other harmful contaminants, and without any disruption to the local habitat. The flower absolute is separated from the oil medium using non-hexane organic grape alcohol, and unlike traditional enfleurage methods used in the 19th century, no animal fats or petrochemicals are used in this extraction process.
Gardenia oil is a powerful natural remedy that offers numerous benefits for the mind and body. With its potent antioxidants and therapeutic properties, it can help to promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and alleviate symptoms of menopause. It is also effective in treating a variety of health conditions, including infections, abscesses, and jaundice. Moreover, gardenia oil has hemostatic properties that can reduce swelling and promote healing of injuries to the muscles, joints, and tendons. By incorporating gardenia oil into your daily body care routine, you can take an important step toward improving your overall health and well-being.
This exquisite Gardenia enfleurage can be used in natural perfumery, to fragrance skincare and body care, or just for the sheer joy of smelling this beautiful floral all on its own.
