DH purchased an EO Distillation unit for me for our anniversary, sweet hubby

huh! It only has a 2 liter biomass flask. I know that the oils will not

come through on distillation, or not very much anyway, but will the Gardenia

aroma come through if I make the hydrosol? Would love to do it for lotions,

rather than tincture in alcohol. I have a LOADED Gardenia this year! Thanks

for any help.

I don't see why you couldn't distill it and at least get some floral water.

That is what I do with my roses, lavender, and lots of other flowers. I may

not get a significant amount of EO, but I get some lovely floral waters!
