Lilac and Labdanum Enfleurage.

The Wild Veil Lilac & Labdanum Enfleurage is a vegan, organic, whole plant perfume made using the traditional method of cold enfleurage of fresh lilac flowers from my family's 35 year old heirloom French lilacs. I first fixed the pommade with my absolute of labdanum resin. I tinctured the raw material for a year, then used natural evaporation to slowly reduce the solution to an absolute. The absolute is mahogany and smells like Madeira, incense, ocean air, and abstract herbs. I gently worked it into avocado butter to fix the pommade for enfleurage. I spread the scented fat very thin (1/8 inch) and I laid fresh flowers on it, recharging daily until saturated. I only use the individual blossoms (not whole inflorescence or "bunches"). This maximizes surface area and uses as little of the whole plant as possible, while producing an aromatically superior product by isolating and capturing the singular scent of the lilac blossom, without any green stem, branchlet, or leaf aroma.
