As you probably already know, we offer a limited number of exceptional quality essential oils from artisan distillers under our brand name: Artisan Aromatics. All are eco-ethically farmed, organic, or wildcrafted. Part of our exclusive collection of artisan quality oils includes four Essential Oils that are produced by Enfleurage, Gardenia, Lily, Rose and Tuberose. Now we are introducing two "solid perfumes" that are created in the middle stage of the enfleurage process.

Enfleurage: The centuries old process of enfleurage extracts essential oils from delicate flowers without heat or chemicals. The flowers petals are plucked while fresh and laid on sheets of fat (in our case, semi-solid palm oil). After a few days, the "old" petals are removed and replaced with new ones. This process is repeated until the fat (palm oil) is completely saturated with the essential oils of the flowers, creating a "solid perfume". Then, to complete the enfleurage process, alcohol is added to the fat/oil mixture and the essential oils migrate from the fat to the alcohol. Then, the fat is removed from the mixture and then, in the final stage, the alcohol is evaporated off to leave only the pure essential oils of the flowers.

Solid Perfumes: Our Solid Perfumes, aka Body Butters, are created from the middle stage of the Enfleurage process. They are created when the fat (palm oil) is completely saturated with the essential oils of the flower. These solid perfumes can then be used as single note perfumes. The aroma is initially more subtle than that of pure essential oils but is quite long lasting and seems to increase once a small amount is applied to a pulse point on the body. Also, once this application occurs, the faint earthy undernote of the palm oils retreats into the background leaving the delicate aroma of the flower as the primary scent.

Gardenia Solid Perfume (Body Butter): The aroma of this Gardenia essential oil is really quite lovely and delicate - a sweet floral aroma that brings joy to the senses.

Tuberose Solid Perfume (Body Butter): For you who are not familiar with Tuberose, its aroma is somewhat like that of Gardenia but not quite so floral and with a rich undertone. Tuberose is also, of course, quite the aphrodisiac.
