Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 I love the smell of lilac (I have a " fake " lilac oil), and I've been searching through the net because it's so hard to find lilac oils for sale even here in the net. Here's what I found out... ---- SYRINGA VULGARIS L. ABSOLUTE Synonyms : LILAC ABSOLUTE (SYRINGA VULGARIS); SYRINGA VULGARIS L. ABSOLUTE; Next to rose and jasmin, the Lilac fragrance is probably the perfume which is most frequently created by the perfumer from synthetic and natural raw materials. Up to now, the essential oil producing houses have been unable to offer a true, natural oil, derived from lilac flowers and representing these flowers satisfactorily in odor effect. Only a few houses in Grasse, France offer materials which are said to be derived exclusively from lilac flowers. An absolute has been prepared from the flowers of lilac by hydrocarbon solvent extraction and subsequent alcohol extraction of the produced concrete. http://www.execpc.com/~goodscnt/data/ab1065112.html --- MAGICAL PROPERTIES Part used: fresh flowers Planet: Venus Element: Earth Magical Influences: Love, Purification The scent of fresh lilac flowers was once thought to drive away ghosts. Like many flowers, lilacs can be utilized in love-expansion rituals. The sweet fragrance of these seasonal blooms brims with loving energies. Or, inhale the aroma rising from the light purple flowers for internal purification. To cleanse a home, place jars of the fresh flowers in several rooms. Lilacs are scarce around these parts, since most species must freeze in order to produce blooms. Still, I manage to smell the flowers once or twice yearly. NO TRUE LILAC ESSENTIAL OILS IS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE. http://www.sacredspiral.com/Database/floral/10floral.html --- Didn't found pretty much anything else on lilac. I also know that chrysantemum is a concrete, so it must be very hard to find them out. If anyone knows if there are any companies selling these oils (true oils, of course!), please post here. Anyway, can we make infused oils from lilac flowers? Hugs, Lena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 If you find a way to make an infused oil, let me know! Lilac is my fav of all scents and I tried an alcohol infusion which didn't work well. I have to settle for fragrance oil right now and would love a better way.
