## About
Think of a palace corridor at dusk, candles lit, a breath of orange flowers through an open window. This is the absolute for that kind of perfume: deep, complex and quietly extravagant.It comes from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree, Citrus aurantium. The flowers are grown and solvent-extracted to a concrete in Tunisia, and a master extractor produces the absolute in France. It recalls our Neroli, but runs much deeper and more complex. Fresh from the bottle it carries a touch of green; diluted, it becomes a radiant floral, rich, warm and heady, and it is potent even at very low dilutions.DetailsBotanical name: Citrus aurantiumPlant part: bitter orange tree blossoms, grown in TunisiaMethod: solvent extraction to a concrete in Tunisia; absolute produced in FranceStrength: full strength; also offered as a 10% dilution in fractionated coconut oilHow to useLet it give depth and heart to any blend that needs a floral beyond the top notes. Blend it half and half with Neroli, its natural complement, or soften it with Lavender absolute, Benzoin or a fine Frankincense and lift it with Petitgrain. The undiluted absolute is thick: you may need to remove the orifice reducer and use a pipette, or warm the bottle a little. Dilute before skin use, and keep it out of reach of children.An extravagance worth keeping, used a drop at a time.
