About this product
A drop on the inside of the wrist, the warmth of your skin, and there it is: a lilac in bloom beneath a bedroom window on an early summer night. For anyone who grew up near lilac bushes it is pure nostalgia, and a scent that is hard to breathe without smiling.
The undiluted lilac CO2 total extract is nearly solid and only mildly scented, so it is warmed into organic jojoba oil at 10% by weight. In the dilution the aroma opens: still soft and subtle, never assertive and never overwhelming a room, but definitely lilac. It is described as relaxing, soothing and harmonizing, said to promote love and optimism, and it has a place in blends for grief.
