August Beauty is a ripe mango that strangely gets fresher before acquiring a green mushroom odor at last. Daisy opens buttery with some of the richness of champa, expiring in mushroomy indole death. Crown Jewel is a pineapple burst, a hint of apricot patchouli typical of osmanthus. And Tea has a loamy crimini profile undercutting its grand sweet nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn my enfleurage I select fresh blossoms in all the stages of bloom so the pommade will memorialize this flower’s complexity. Each day (sometimes twice a day) I check each flower resting on the fat to make sure it is still moving aromatically. A flower will last on the fat for anywhere from 1 to 5 days. There’s a lot of indolic musk in this product, so be forewarned!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiterally, \"in flower,\" enfleurage is a traditional, labor intensive, and pure method of extracting fragrance, utilizing only fat and plant material. Enfleurage is also the method of perfume extraction that most closely replicates the odor profile of the original flower: each flower's complex fragrant arc from bud to bloom is imprinted in fat, where it is stored. The scent is true to the blossom, but subtle, requiring you to bend in close for a sniff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I smell gardenia, I feel medicated, hypnotized, lulled. The world slows down and I am \"into\" the flower as with no other. I have used enfleurage to capture gardenia's enveloping, exotic aroma. Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of hundreds of individual organic gardenia blossoms that I gathered from my perfume gardens, laid onto an emulsion of organic avocado butter and raw beeswax. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and southern. It is very much the opposite of the shrill, overpowering version of a synthetic floral you find at the fragrance counter. Only you and those closest to you will be able to smell it. Apply to pulse points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePLEASE READ: \u003cbr\u003e**Although the floral perfume produced by enfleurage is osmically balanced (meaning it contains sufficiently complex interplay of top through base notes to be considered a perfume in itself), it is a subtle creation. It must be given time to breathe on the skin. When cold, it may not smell much at all. Allow it to breathe and warm on a pulse point before inhaling deeply. Most noses love the aroma of my enfleurage but, a small percent of my clients are anosmic to enfleurage and therefore cannot smell the floral fragrance. This has to do with natural differences in nasal receptors and is not due to an issue with the product. I always recommend ordering a sample before committing to a larger size for this reason.**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA B O U T • W I L D • V E I L • E N F L E U R A G E\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnfleurage is a beautiful process whereby odorless fats that are solid at room temperature are used to capture the fragrant compounds exuded by plants. Enfleurage is by far one of the oldest methods of fragrance extraction, and it is nearly extinct. Only a handful of artisans still practice it today as it is no longer used in the manufacture of perfumes on a mass scale. A voluptuous art, enfleurage is quite the labor of love, consuming time, labor, and expense. Historically enfleurage was done by women, or maidens, in the fields of Grasse, France. Although far rarer to find enfleurage products in the market today, is still \"largely\" practiced by women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two types of enfleurage: \"cold\" and \"hot.\" Wild Veil exclusively uses cold enfleurage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cold enfleurage, a large framed plate of glass, called a chassis, is smeared with a layer of fat, traditionally unscented animal fat rendered from lard or tallow, and allowed to set. My enfleurage products are organic and botanical; I purvey fats from a variety of nut and plant butters such as shea, jojoba, avocado, fair trade palm, and mango. Botanical matter, usually petals or whole flowers, is then placed on the fat and its scent is allowed to diffuse into the fat over the course of 1-3 days. The process is then repeated (up to 36 times depending on the fat and the botanical matter) by replacing the spent botanicals with fresh ones until the fat has reached a desired degree of fragrance saturation. The cold fat process was developed in southern France in the 18th century for the production of high-grade concentrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn hot enfleurage, solid fats are heated and botanical matter is stirred into the fat. Spent botanicals are repeatedly strained from the fat and replaced with fresh material until the fat is saturated with fragrance. This method is considered the oldest known procedure for preserving plant fragrance substances. So far Wild Veil only incorporates cold enfleurage into products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both instances, once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the \"enfleurage pommade.\" This is a highly perfumed solid fat, not to be confused with pomade used for styling hair. Historically, this enfleurage pommade was either sold as it was,* or it could be further washed or soaked in ethyl alcohol to draw the fragrant molecules into the alcohol. When the alcohol was separated from the fat and allowed to evaporate, it would leave behind the absolute of the botanical matter. The spent fat would typically be used to make soaps since it is still fairly fragrant. *This listing is for an organic pommade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advent of modern perfumery ushered in the ease and relative inexpense of commercial solvent-based extraction of natural materials along with mass production of synthetic compounds, making the art of enfleurage seem highly inefficient and costly in comparison. The method is now superseded by more efficient techniques such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction using liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) or similar compressed gases. Enfleurage had been the sole method of extracting the fragrant compounds (containing thousands of aromachemicals) from delicate floral botanical such as jasmine and tuberose, which are be destroyed or denatured by the high temperatures required by cheaper methods of fragrance extraction such as steam distillation. It is still believed by some perfumers that enfleurage remains the only way to capture and preserve the full range of complexity of certain scents, particularly of flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003es i z i n g ☽•☾\u003cbr\u003eI offer enfleurage in sizes of 1ml (a sample of approximately 20-25 drops), 5ml and 10ml. 1ml (sample size) comes in a hinge top pod. 5ml comes in a glass jar. 10ml is available in a glass jar or a round tin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease make your selection from the menu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003er a w ☽•☾ m a t t e r\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont.

Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of hundreds of individual organic gardenia blossoms that I gathered from my perfume gardens, laid on a bed of waxy fat. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation.

Enfleurage is by far one of the oldest methods of fragrance extraction, and it is nearly extinct. Only a handful of artisans still practice it today as it is no longer used in the manufacture of perfumes on a mass scale. A voluptuous art, enfleurage is quite the labor of love, consuming time, labor, and expense. Historically enfleurage was done by women, or maidens, in the fields of Grasse, France. Although far rarer to find enfleurage products in the market today, is still \"largely\" practiced by women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two types of enfleurage: \"cold\" and \"hot.\" Wild Veil exclusively uses cold enfleurage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cold enfleurage, a large framed plate of glass, called a chassis, is smeared with a layer of fat, traditionally unscented animal fat rendered from lard or tallow, and allowed to set. My enfleurage products are organic and botanical; I purvey fats from a variety of nut and plant butters such as shea, jojoba, avocado, fair trade palm, and mango. Botanical matter, usually petals or whole flowers, is then placed on the fat and its scent is allowed to diffuse into the fat over the course of 1-3 days. The process is then repeated (up to 36 times depending on the fat and the botanical matter) by replacing the spent botanicals with fresh ones until the fat has reached a desired degree of fragrance saturation. The cold fat process was developed in southern France in the 18th century for the production of high-grade concentrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn hot enfleurage, solid fats are heated and botanical matter is stirred into the fat. Spent botanicals are repeatedly strained from the fat and replaced with fresh material until the fat is saturated with fragrance. This method is considered the oldest known procedure for preserving plant fragrance substances. So far Wild Veil only incorporates cold enfleurage into products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both instances, once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the \"enfleurage pommade.\" This is a highly perfumed solid fat, not to be confused with pomade used for styling hair. Historically, this enfleurage pommade was either sold as it was,* or it could be further washed or soaked in ethyl alcohol to draw the fragrant molecules into the alcohol. When the alcohol was separated from the fat and allowed to evaporate, it would leave behind the absolute of the botanical matter. The spent fat would typically be used to make soaps since it is still fairly fragrant. *This listing is for an organic pommade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advent of modern perfumery ushered in the ease and relative inexpense of commercial solvent-based extraction of natural materials along with mass production of synthetic compounds, making the art of enfleurage seem highly inefficient and costly in comparison. The method is now superseded by more efficient techniques such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction using liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) or similar compressed gases. Enfleurage had been the sole method of extracting the fragrant compounds (containing thousands of aromachemicals) from delicate floral botanical such as jasmine and tuberose, which are be destroyed or denatured by the high temperatures required by cheaper methods of fragrance extraction such as steam distillation.

Each day (sometimes twice a day) I check each flower resting on the fat to make sure it is still moving aromatically. A flower will last on the fat for anywhere from 1 to 5 days. There’s a lot of indolic musk in this product, so be forewarned!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiterally, \"in flower,\" enfleurage is a traditional, labor intensive, and pure method of extracting fragrance, utilizing only fat and plant material. Enfleurage is also the method of perfume extraction that most closely replicates the odor profile of the original flower: each flower's complex fragrant arc from bud to bloom is imprinted in fat, where it is stored. The scent is true to the blossom, but subtle, requiring you to bend in close for a sniff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I smell gardenia, I feel medicated, hypnotized, lulled. The world slows down and I am \"into\" the flower as with no other. I have used enfleurage to capture gardenia's enveloping, exotic aroma. Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of hundreds of individual organic gardenia blossoms that I gathered from my perfume gardens, laid onto an emulsion of waxy fat. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and southern. It is very much the opposite of the shrill, overpowering version of a synthetic floral you find at the fragrance counter. Only you and those closest to you will be able to smell it. Apply to pulse points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePLEASE READ: \u003cbr\u003e**Although the floral perfume produced by enfleurage is osmically balanced (meaning it contains sufficiently complex interplay of top through base notes to be considered a perfume in itself), it is a subtle creation. It must be given time to breathe on the skin. When cold, it may not smell much at all. Allow it to breathe and warm on a pulse point before inhaling deeply. Most noses love the aroma of my enfleurage but, a small percent of my clients are anosmic to enfleurage and therefore cannot smell the floral fragrance. This has to do with natural differences in nasal receptors and is not due to an issue with the product. I always recommend ordering a sample before committing to a larger size for this reason.**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA B O U T • W I L D • V E I L • E N F L E U R A G E\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnfleurage is a beautiful process whereby odorless fats that are solid at room temperature are used to capture the fragrant compounds exuded by plants. Enfleurage is by far one of the oldest methods of fragrance extraction, and it is nearly extinct. Only a handful of artisans still practice it today as it is no longer used in the manufacture of perfumes on a mass scale. A voluptuous art, enfleurage is quite the labor of love, consuming time, labor, and expense. Historically enfleurage was done by women, or maidens, in the fields of Grasse, France. Although far rarer to find enfleurage products in the market today, is still \"largely\" practiced by women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two types of enfleurage: \"cold\" and \"hot.\" Wild Veil exclusively uses cold enfleurage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cold enfleurage, a large framed plate of glass, called a chassis, is smeared with a layer of fat, traditionally unscented animal fat rendered from lard or tallow, and allowed to set. My enfleurage products are organic and botanical; I purvey fats from a variety of nut and plant butters such as shea, jojoba, avocado, fair trade palm, and mango. Botanical matter, usually petals or whole flowers, is then placed on the fat and its scent is allowed to diffuse into the fat over the course of 1-3 days. The process is then repeated (up to 36 times depending on the fat and the botanical matter) by replacing the spent botanicals with fresh ones until the fat has reached a desired degree of fragrance saturation. The cold fat process was developed in southern France in the 18th century for the production of high-grade concentrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn hot enfleurage, solid fats are heated and botanical matter is stirred into the fat. Spent botanicals are repeatedly strained from the fat and replaced with fresh material until the fat is saturated with fragrance. This method is considered the oldest known procedure for preserving plant fragrance substances. So far Wild Veil only incorporates cold enfleurage into products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both instances, once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the \"enfleurage pommade.\" This is a highly perfumed solid fat, not to be confused with pomade used for styling hair. Historically, this enfleurage pommade was either sold as it was,* or it could be further washed or soaked in ethyl alcohol to draw the fragrant molecules into the alcohol. When the alcohol was separated from the fat and allowed to evaporate, it would leave behind the absolute of the botanical matter. The spent fat would typically be used to make soaps since it is still fairly fragrant. *This listing is for an organic pommade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advent of modern perfumery ushered in the ease and relative inexpense of commercial solvent-based extraction of natural materials along with mass production of synthetic compounds, making the art of enfleurage seem highly inefficient and costly in comparison. The method is now superseded by more efficient techniques such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction using liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) or similar compressed gases. Enfleurage had been the sole method of extracting the fragrant compounds (containing thousands of aromachemicals) from delicate floral botanical such as jasmine and tuberose, which are be destroyed or denatured by the high temperatures required by cheaper methods of fragrance extraction such as steam distillation. It is still believed by some perfumers that enfleurage remains the only way to capture and preserve the full range of complexity of certain scents, particularly of flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003es i z i n g ☽•☾\u003cbr\u003eI offer enfleurage in sizes of 1ml (a sample of approximately 20-25 drops), 5ml and 10ml. 1ml (sample size) comes in a hinge top pod. 5ml comes in a glass jar. 10ml is available in a glass jar or a round tin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease make your selection from the menu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003er a w ☽•☾ m a t t e r\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont.

The poplar bud is from fallen branches of wild poplar I harvested in the spring, then tinctured and reduced to an absolute. It smells tangy, resinous, with notes of red wine and incense. The absolute\/resinoid of bushman candle comes from Sarcocaulon mossamedense, a succulent that grows in parts of Namibia and Angola. It produces a waxy bark that, once it falls away and desiccates in the desert heat, is collected by the Himba, and traditionally used for incense, cooking, and, when lit, as a candle. I tinctured the pieces of bark for 6 months, then used natural evaporation to slowly concentrate the solution into an absolute. The absolute is sticky, hard, at 100% concentration and smells like brown sugar and brown butter, musk, and frankincense; it has a crackling fiery energy like wood smoke, without the acridity of smoke. I gently worked the poplar and bushman candle absolutes into a blend of avocado and mango butters, conditioned with very raw beeswax, to fix a pommade for enfleurage. I spread this tangy, musty, resinous smelling base in a thin layer and laid fresh flowers on it, recharging daily with over ten of my gardenia jasminoides cultivars until saturated. The poplar buds and bushman's candle bring out the flowers' fruitiness more than their typical creamy, mushroomy, languorous qualities. The fruit scent is fresh mango pulp, perhaps highlighted by the tart aroma of poplar. Following the tropical fruit top notes is an amber incense with unbelievable warmth.

This ancient technique is the only method of scent extraction that captures the entire arc of a flower's headspace, from opening to last breath. Other technologies: tincture, steam distillation, and supercritical co2 extraction freeze and capture but a moment in a flower's aromatic evolution. Only enfleurage records the full expression of fragrance, with all the nuances from immaturity to maturity. Sometimes the old ways are best.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil is dedicated to enfleurage, and my gardenia enfleurage is a deep and powerful way to commune with the flower, with 14 varieties from my gardens contributing their distinct aromas. The result is an organic gardenia solid perfume-- a rarity. Its scent is indulgent, deep, creamy, and languorous, the olfactory equivalent of a southern drawl. Something more than the sum of jasmine, star jasmine, tuberose, and lily. Enfleurage brings out the nuanced wintergreen and pine back notes of this thick white custard of a flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGardenia jasminoides: all the same species but each cultivar smells distinct, and each one goes through an incredible scent arc from bud to bloom. To name a few:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAimee Yoshioka’s enormous flowers announce their fragrant presence before you see them. Its quilted white petals are the scent of heaven on earth. The Double Mint is a little lemony and fresh butter, like lemon curd, upon opening, then takes on a fruity peach-jasmine scent that lasts until a pungent musk emerges in its final days. August Beauty is a ripe mango that strangely gets fresher before acquiring a green mushroom odor at last. Daisy opens buttery with some of the richness of champa, expiring in mushroomy indole death. Crown Jewel is a pineapple burst, a hint of apricot patchouli typical of osmanthus. And Tea has a loamy crimini profile undercutting its grand sweet nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\nIn my enfleurage I select fresh blossoms in all the stages of bloom so the pommade will memorialize this flower’s complexity. Each day (sometimes twice a day) I check each flower resting on the fat to make sure it is still moving aromatically. A flower will last on the fat for anywhere from 1 to 5 days. There’s a lot of indolic musk in this product, so be forewarned!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiterally, \"in flower,\" enfleurage is a traditional, labor intensive, and pure method of extracting fragrance, utilizing only fat and plant material. Enfleurage is also the method of perfume extraction that most closely replicates the odor profile of the original flower: each flower's complex fragrant arc from bud to bloom is imprinted into fat, where it is stored. The scent is true to the blossom, but subtle, requiring you to bend in close for a sniff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I smell gardenia, I feel medicated, hypnotized, lulled. The world slows down and I am \"into\" the flower as with no other. I have used enfleurage to capture gardenia's enveloping, exotic aroma. Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of individual organic gardenia blossoms that I gathered from my perfume gardens, laid onto an emulsion of waxy fat. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and southern. It is very much the opposite of the shrill, overpowering version of a synthetic floral you find at the fragrance counter. Only you and those closest to you will be able to smell it. Apply to pulse points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePLEASE READ: \u003cbr\u003e**Although the floral perfume produced by enfleurage is osmically balanced (meaning it contains sufficiently complex interplay of top through base notes to be considered a perfume in itself), it is a subtle creation. It must be given time to breathe on the skin. When cold, it may not smell much at all. Allow it to breathe and warm on a pulse point before inhaling deeply. Most noses love the aroma of my enfleurage but, a small percent of my clients are anosmic to enfleurage and therefore cannot smell the floral fragrance. This has to do with natural differences in nasal receptors and is not due to an issue with the product. I always recommend ordering a sample before committing to a larger size for this reason.**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☽•☾ Wild Veil ☽•☾ alchemy between earth and ether ☽•☾\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☽•☾ All aesthetic material copyright Abby Hinsman 2019 ☽•☾\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wt-text-center-xs\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wild Veil","offers":[{"title":"sample 1ml","offer_id":31726110146663,"sku":"204-1","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5ml glass jar","offer_id":31726110179431,"sku":"204-2","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10ml tin","offer_id":31726110212199,"sku":"204-3","price":354.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10ml glass jar","offer_id":31726110244967,"sku":"204-4","price":354.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5ml black violet glass jar","offer_id":45402497614130,"sku":"204-2","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10ml black violet glass jar","offer_id":45402506428722,"sku":"204-4","price":374.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0248\/2887\/0759\/products\/PXL_20210610_234150317_c93e927c-c75d-4221-b42b-2736b678c18f.jpg?v=1655770292"},{"product_id":"southern-gothic-enfleurage-perfume-florid-haunted-solid-fragrance-with-handmade-gardenia-and-honeysuckle-enfleurage","title":"Southern Gothic. enfleurage perfume. florid, haunted.

This ancient technique is the sole method of scent extraction that captures the entire arc of a flower's headspace, from opening to last breath. Other technologies--tincture, steam distillation, and supercritical co2 extraction-- freeze and capture but a moment in a flower's aromatic evolution. Only enfleurage records the full expression of a blossom's fragrance, with all the nuances of age.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWild Veil is dedicated to enfleurage, and my gardenia jasminoides enfleurage is a deep and powerful way to commune with the flower, with 14 varieties from my gardens contributing their distinct aromas. The result is an organic gardenia solid perfume-- a rarity. Its scent is indulgent, deep, creamy, and languorous. Something more than the sum of jasmine, star jasmine, tuberose, and lily. Enfleurage brings out the intricate wintergreen, mango, and pine back notes of this thick white custard of a flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach gardenia cultivar smells unique, with a distinct scent arc.

Their quilted white petals are the scent of heaven on earth. Upon opening, the Double Mint has lemons and fresh butter, like lemon curd, then it takes on a fruity peach-jasmine scent that lasts until a pungent musk emerges in its last days. August Beauty is a ripe mango that strangely gets fresher before acquiring a final green mushroom odor. Daisy opens buttery with some of the richness of champaca, expiring in mushroomy indole death. Crown Jewel is a pineapple burst, a hint of apricot patchouli typical of osmanthus. And Tea has a loamy crimini profile undercutting its grand sweet nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn my enfleurage I select fresh blossoms in all the stages of bloom so the pommade will memorialize this flower’s complexity. Each day (sometimes twice a day) I check each flower resting on the fat to make sure it is still moving aromatically. A flower will last on the fat for anywhere from 1 to 5 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiterally, \"in flower,\" enfleurage is a traditional, labor intensive, and pure method of extracting fragrance, utilizing only fat and plant material. Enfleurage is also the method of perfume extraction that most closely replicates the odor profile of the original flower: each flower's complex fragrant arc from bud to bloom is imprinted in fat, where it is stored. The scent is true to the blossom, but subtle, requiring you to bend in close for a sniff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen I smell gardenia, I feel medicated, hypnotized, lulled. The world slows down and I am \"into\" the flower as with no other. I have used enfleurage to capture gardenia's enveloping, exotic aroma. Enfleurage produces a corps (French, \"body\"), a highly scented solid perfume. This corps consists of individual organic gardenia blossoms from my garden, laid to rest on organic avocado butter by hand. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried and the corps is meanwhile cleaned of debris, a process called défleurage. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and equatorial. It is very much the opposite of the shrill, overpowering version of a synthetic floral you find at the fragrance counter. Only you and those closest to you will be able to smell it. Apply to pulse points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLEASE READ: \u003cbr\u003e**Although the floral perfume produced by enfleurage is osmically balanced (meaning it contains sufficiently complex interplay of top through base notes to be considered a perfume in itself), it is a subtle creation. It must be given time to breathe on the skin. When cold, it may not smell much at all. Allow it to breathe and warm on a pulse point before inhaling deeply. Most noses love the aroma of my enfleurage but, a small percent of my clients are anosmic to enfleurage and therefore cannot smell the floral fragrance. This has to do with natural differences in nasal receptors and is not due to an issue with the product. I always recommend ordering a sample before committing to a larger size for this reason.**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA B O U T • W I L D • V E I L • E N F L E U R A G E\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnfleurage is a beautiful process whereby odorless fats that are solid at room temperature are used to capture the fragrant compounds exuded by plants. Enfleurage is by far one of the oldest methods of fragrance extraction, and it is nearly extinct. Only a handful of artisans still practice it today as it is no longer used in the manufacture of perfumes on a mass scale. A voluptuous art, enfleurage is quite the labor of love, consuming time, labor, and expense. Historically enfleurage was done by women, or maidens, in the fields of Grasse, France. Although far rarer to find enfleurage products in the market today, is still \"largely\" practiced by women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two types of enfleurage: \"cold\" and \"hot.\" Wild Veil exclusively uses cold enfleurage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cold enfleurage, a large framed plate of glass, called a chassis, is smeared with a layer of fat, traditionally unscented animal fat rendered from lard or tallow, and allowed to set. My enfleurage products are organic and botanical; I purvey fats from a variety of nut and plant butters such as shea, jojoba, avocado, fair trade palm, and mango. Botanical matter, usually petals or whole flowers, is then placed on the fat and its scent is allowed to diffuse into the fat over the course of 1-3 days. The process is then repeated (up to 36 times depending on the fat and the botanical matter) by replacing the spent botanicals with fresh ones until the fat has reached a desired degree of fragrance saturation. The cold fat process was developed in southern France in the 18th century for the production of high-grade concentrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn hot enfleurage, solid fats are heated and botanical matter is stirred into the fat. Spent botanicals are repeatedly strained from the fat and replaced with fresh material until the fat is saturated with fragrance. This method is considered the oldest known procedure for preserving plant fragrance substances. So far Wild Veil only incorporates cold enfleurage into products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both instances, once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the \"enfleurage pommade.\" This is a highly perfumed solid fat, not to be confused with pomade used for styling hair. Historically, this enfleurage pommade was either sold as it was,* or it could be further washed or soaked in ethyl alcohol to draw the fragrant molecules into the alcohol. When the alcohol was separated from the fat and allowed to evaporate, it would leave behind the absolute of the botanical matter. The spent fat would typically be used to make soaps since it is still fairly fragrant. *This listing is for an organic pommade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advent of modern perfumery ushered in the ease and relative inexpense of commercial solvent-based extraction of natural materials along with mass production of synthetic compounds, making the art of enfleurage seem highly inefficient and costly in comparison. The method is now superseded by more efficient techniques such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction using liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) or similar compressed gasses. Enfleurage had been the sole method of extracting the fragrant compounds (containing thousands of aromachemicals) from delicate floral botanical such as jasmine and tuberose, which can be destroyed or denatured by the high temperatures required by cheaper methods of fragrance extraction such as steam distillation. It is still believed by some perfumers that enfleurage remains the only way to capture and preserve the full range of complexity of certain scents, particularly of flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003es i z i n g ☽•☾\u003cbr\u003eI offer enfleurage in sizes of 1ml (a sample of approximately 20-25 drops), 5ml and 10ml. 1ml (sample size) comes in a hinge top pod. 5ml comes in a glass jar. 10ml is available in a glass jar or a round tin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease make your selection from the menu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003er a w ☽•☾ m a t t e r\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont.

Two varieties of wild clove bud from Madagascar and Indonesia drop their warm, spicy, sweetness in, softening civet's skatole without being gourmand. To me, the star jasmine intrinsically releases a musky honeycomb note, so the inclusion of raw beeswax fixes and deepens that chord. Apply to pulse points to enhance the transformative quality of your sign. Please note this perfume is only available in solid form.

This ancient technique is the only method of scent extraction that captures the entire arc of a flower's headspace, from opening to last breath. Other technologies: tincture, steam distillation, and supercritical co2 extraction freeze and capture but a moment in a flower's aromatic evolution. Only enfleurage records the full expression of fragrance, with all the nuances from immaturity to maturity. Sometimes the old ways are best.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil is dedicated to enfleurage, and my gardenia enfleurage is a deep and powerful way to commune with the flower, with 14 varieties from my gardens contributing their distinct aromas. The result is an organic gardenia solid perfume-- a rarity. Its scent is indulgent, deep, creamy, and languorous, the olfactory equivalent of a southern drawl. Something more than the sum of jasmine, star jasmine, tuberose, and lily. Enfleurage brings out the nuanced wintergreen and pine back notes of this thick white custard of a flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGardenia jasminoides: all the same species but each cultivar smells distinct, and each one goes through an incredible scent arc from bud to bloom. To name a few:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAimee Yoshioka’s enormous flowers announce their fragrant presence before you see them. Its quilted white petals are the scent of heaven on earth. The Double Mint is a little lemony and fresh butter, like lemon curd, upon opening, then takes on a fruity peach-jasmine scent that lasts until a pungent musk emerges in its final days. August Beauty is a ripe mango that strangely gets fresher before acquiring a green mushroom odor at last. Daisy opens buttery with some of the richness of champa, expiring in mushroomy indole death. Crown Jewel is a pineapple burst, a hint of apricot patchouli typical of osmanthus. And Tea has a loamy crimini profile undercutting its grand sweet nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn my enfleurage I select fresh blossoms in all the stages of bloom so the pommade will memorialize this flower’s complexity. Each day (sometimes twice a day) I check each flower resting on the fat to make sure it is still moving aromatically. A flower will last on the fat for anywhere from 1 to 5 days. There’s a lot of indolic musk in this product, so be forewarned!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiterally, \"in flower,\" enfleurage is a traditional, labor intensive, and pure method of extracting fragrance, utilizing only fat and plant material. Enfleurage is also the method of perfume extraction that most closely replicates the odor profile of the original flower: each flower's complex fragrant arc from bud to bloom is imprinted in fat, where it is stored. The scent is true to the blossom, but subtle, requiring you to bend in close for a sniff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I smell gardenia, I feel medicated, hypnotized, lulled. The world slows down and I am \"into\" the flower as with no other. I have used enfleurage to capture gardenia's enveloping, exotic aroma. Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of individual organic gardenia blossoms from my garden, pressed into organic plant butters by hand. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and southern. It is very much the opposite of the shrill, overpowering version of a synthetic floral you find at the fragrance counter. Only you and those closest to you will be able to smell it.

This ancient technique is the only method of scent extraction that captures the entire arc of a flower's headspace, from opening to last breath. Other technologies: tincture, steam distillation, and supercritical co2 extraction freeze and capture but a moment in a flower's aromatic evolution. Only enfleurage records the full expression of fragrance, with all the nuances from immaturity to maturity. Sometimes the old ways are best. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil is dedicated to enfleurage, and my gardenia enfleurage is a deep and powerful way to commune with the flower, with 14 varieties from my gardens contributing their distinct aromas. The result is an organic gardenia solid perfume-- a rarity. Its scent is indulgent, deep, creamy, and languorous, the olfactory equivalent of a southern drawl. Something more than the sum of jasmine, star jasmine, tuberose, and lily. Enfleurage brings out the nuanced wintergreen and pine back notes of this thick white custard of a flower.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGardenia jasminoides: all the same species but each cultivar smells distinct, and each one goes through an incredible scent arc from bud to bloom. To name a few: \u003cbr\u003eAimee Yoshioka’s enormous flowers announce their fragrant presence before you see them. Its quilted white petals are the scent of heaven on earth. The Double Mint is a little lemony and fresh butter, like lemon curd, upon opening, then takes on a fruity peach-jasmine scent that lasts until a pungent musk emerges in its final days. August Beauty is a ripe mango that strangely gets fresher before acquiring a green mushroom odor at last. Daisy opens buttery with some of the richness of champa, expiring in mushroomy indole death. Crown Jewel is a pineapple burst, a hint of apricot patchouli typical of osmanthus. And Tea has a loamy crimini profile undercutting its grand sweet nectar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn my enfleurage I select fresh blossoms in all the stages of bloom so the pommade will memorialize this flower’s complexity. Each day (sometimes twice a day) I check each flower resting on the fat to make sure it is still moving aromatically. A flower will last on the fat for anywhere from 1 to 5 days. There’s a lot of indolic musk in this product, so be forewarned!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLiterally, \"in flower,\" enfleurage is a traditional, labor intensive, and pure method of extracting fragrance, utilizing only fat and plant material. Enfleurage is also the method of perfume extraction that most closely replicates the odor profile of the original flower: each flower's complex fragrant arc from bud to bloom is imprinted in fat, where it is stored. The scent is true to the blossom, but subtle, requiring you to bend in close for a sniff.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen I smell gardenia, I feel medicated, hypnotized, lulled. The world slows down and I am \"into\" the flower as with no other. I have used enfleurage to capture gardenia's enveloping, exotic aroma. Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of individual organic gardenia blossoms that I gathered from my perfume gardens, laid onto and emulsion of organic avocado butter and raw beeswax. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and southern. It is very much the opposite of the shrill, overpowering version of a synthetic floral you find at the fragrance counter. Only you and those closest to you will be able to smell it. Apply to pulse points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003er a w ☽•☾ m a t t e r\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont.

The resulting absolute has a creamy spring field and pasture scent. It’s sweet and reminds me of candlelight. The unwashed wool from a black Icelandic wether is funky and animalic. It is by far the oiliest and fattiest smelling of the three fleeces. Even with the barnyard leather overtones, it is warm and inviting. From another rare breed, the Navajo Churro wool has alfalfa notes amidst a southwestern desert profile.

Enfleurage is by far one of the oldest methods of fragrance extraction, and it is nearly extinct. Only a handful of artisans still practice it today as it is no longer used in the manufacture of perfumes on a mass scale. A voluptuous art, enfleurage is quite the labor of love, consuming time, labor, and expense. Historically enfleurage was done by women, or maidens, in the fields of Grasse, France. Although far rarer to find enfleurage products in the market today, is still \"largely\" practiced by women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two types of enfleurage: \"cold\" and \"hot.\" Wild Veil exclusively uses cold enfleurage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cold enfleurage, a large framed plate of glass, called a chassis, is smeared with a layer of fat, traditionally unscented animal fat rendered from lard or tallow, and allowed to set. My enfleurage products are organic and botanical; I purvey fats from a variety of nut and plant butters such as shea, jojoba, avocado, fair trade palm, and mango. Botanical matter, usually petals or whole flowers, is then placed on the fat and its scent is allowed to diffuse into the fat over the course of 1-3 days. The process is then repeated (up to 36 times depending on the fat and the botanical matter) by replacing the spent botanicals with fresh ones until the fat has reached a desired degree of fragrance saturation. The cold fat process was developed in southern France in the 18th century for the production of high-grade concentrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn hot enfleurage, solid fats are heated and botanical matter is stirred into the fat. Spent botanicals are repeatedly strained from the fat and replaced with fresh material until the fat is saturated with fragrance. This method is considered the oldest known procedure for preserving plant fragrance substances. So far Wild Veil only incorporates cold enfleurage into products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both instances, once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the \"enfleurage pommade.\" This is a highly perfumed solid fat, not to be confused with pomade used for styling hair. Historically, this enfleurage pommade was either sold as it was,* or it could be further washed or soaked in ethyl alcohol to draw the fragrant molecules into the alcohol. When the alcohol was separated from the fat and allowed to evaporate, it would leave behind the absolute of the botanical matter. The spent fat would typically be used to make soaps since it is still fairly fragrant. *This listing is for an organic pommade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advent of modern perfumery ushered in the ease and relative inexpense of commercial solvent-based extraction of natural materials along with mass production of synthetic compounds, making the art of enfleurage seem highly inefficient and costly in comparison. The method is now superseded by more efficient techniques such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction using liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) or similar compressed gasses. Enfleurage had been the sole method of extracting the fragrant compounds (containing thousands of aromachemicals) from delicate floral botanical such as jasmine and tuberose, which can be destroyed or denatured by the high temperatures required by cheaper methods of fragrance extraction such as steam distillation. It is still believed by some perfumers that enfleurage remains the only way to capture and preserve the full range of complexity of certain scents, particularly of flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003es i z i n g ☽•☾\u003cbr\u003eI offer enfleurage in sizes of 1ml (a sample of approximately 20-25 drops), 5ml and 10ml. 1ml (sample size) comes in a hinge top pod. 5ml comes in a glass jar. 10ml is available in a glass jar or a round tin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease make your selection from the menu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003er a w ☽•☾ m a t t e r\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont.

Gardenia jasminoides bears such aromatic range that I decided this flower deserved more than a full spectrum enfleurage, which itself is deep and glorious. Some varieties are heavy with civet; many breeds are lush and wet smelling; some have notes of poplar and propolis; while others carry whiffs of mango terpenes. Enfleurage by cultivar slices more finely the specificity of floral aura, an endeavor I hope will enrich the olfactory catalog I am building with Wild Veil.

Their quilted white petals are the scent of heaven on earth. Upon opening, the Double Mint has lemons and fresh butter, like lemon curd, then it takes on a fruity peach-jasmine scent that lasts until a pungent musk emerges in its last days. August Beauty is a ripe mango that strangely gets fresher before acquiring a final green mushroom odor. Daisy opens buttery with some of the richness of champaca, expiring in mushroomy indole death. Crown Jewel is a pineapple burst, a hint of apricot patchouli typical of osmanthus.

Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of individual organic gardenia blossoms from my garden, laid to rest on organic avocado butter by hand. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and equatorial.

Once I surpassed previous years' product volume in early July, I set fresh pommade and designated chassis by cultivar. Gardenia jasminoides bears such aromatic range that I decided this flower deserved more than a full spectrum enfleurage, which itself is deep and glorious. Some varieties are heavy with civet; many breeds are lush and wet smelling; some have notes of poplar and propolis; while others carry whiffs of mango terpenes. Enfleurage by cultivar slices more finely the specificity of floral aura, an endeavor I hope will enrich the olfactory catalog I am building with Wild Veil. This listing is for the \"Gothic Queen\" variety. It is by far the most fresh-wet smelling, and least animalic. It has a creaminess on par with pearlescent shampoo rather than a custard.

Enfleurage is also the method of perfume extraction that most closely replicates the odor profile of the original flower: each flower's complex fragrant arc from bud to bloom is imprinted in fat, where it is stored.

The world slows down and I am \"into\" the flower as with no other. I have used enfleurage to capture gardenia's enveloping, exotic aroma. Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of individual organic gardenia blossoms from my garden, laid to rest on organic avocado butter by hand. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and equatorial.

It must be given time to breathe on the skin. When cold, it may not smell much at all. Allow it to breathe and warm on a pulse point before inhaling deeply. Most noses love the aroma of my enfleurage but, a small percent of my clients are anosmic to enfleurage and therefore cannot smell the floral fragrance. This has to do with natural differences in nasal receptors and is not due to an issue with the product. I always recommend ordering a sample before committing to a larger size for this reason.**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA B O U T • W I L D • V E I L • E N F L E U R A G E\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnfleurage is a beautiful process whereby odorless fats that are solid at room temperature are used to capture the fragrant compounds exuded by plants. Enfleurage is by far one of the oldest methods of fragrance extraction, and it is nearly extinct. Only a handful of artisans still practice it today as it is no longer used in the manufacture of perfumes on a mass scale. A voluptuous art, enfleurage is quite the labor of love, consuming time, labor, and expense. Historically enfleurage was done by women, or maidens, in the fields of Grasse, France. Although far rarer to find enfleurage products in the market today, is still \"largely\" practiced by women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two types of enfleurage: \"cold\" and \"hot.\" Wild Veil exclusively uses cold enfleurage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cold enfleurage, a large framed plate of glass, called a chassis, is smeared with a layer of fat, traditionally unscented animal fat rendered from lard or tallow, and allowed to set. My enfleurage products are organic and botanical; I purvey fats from a variety of nut and plant butters such as shea, jojoba, avocado, fair trade palm, and mango. Botanical matter, usually petals or whole flowers, is then placed on the fat and its scent is allowed to diffuse into the fat over the course of 1-3 days. The process is then repeated (up to 36 times depending on the fat and the botanical matter) by replacing the spent botanicals with fresh ones until the fat has reached a desired degree of fragrance saturation. The cold fat process was developed in southern France in the 18th century for the production of high-grade concentrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn hot enfleurage, solid fats are heated and botanical matter is stirred into the fat. Spent botanicals are repeatedly strained from the fat and replaced with fresh material until the fat is saturated with fragrance. This method is considered the oldest known procedure for preserving plant fragrance substances. So far Wild Veil only incorporates cold enfleurage into products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both instances, once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the \"enfleurage pommade.\" This is a highly perfumed solid fat, not to be confused with pomade used for styling hair. Historically, this enfleurage pommade was either sold as it was,* or it could be further washed or soaked in ethyl alcohol to draw the fragrant molecules into the alcohol. When the alcohol was separated from the fat and allowed to evaporate, it would leave behind the absolute of the botanical matter. The spent fat would typically be used to make soaps since it is still fairly fragrant. *This listing is for an organic pommade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advent of modern perfumery ushered in the ease and relative inexpense of commercial solvent-based extraction of natural materials along with mass production of synthetic compounds, making the art of enfleurage seem highly inefficient and costly in comparison. The method is now superseded by more efficient techniques such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction using liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) or similar compressed gasses. Enfleurage had been the sole method of extracting the fragrant compounds (containing thousands of aromachemicals) from delicate floral botanical such as jasmine and tuberose, which can be destroyed or denatured by the high temperatures required by cheaper methods of fragrance extraction such as steam distillation. It is still believed by some perfumers that enfleurage remains the only way to capture and preserve the full range of complexity of certain scents, particularly of flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003es i z i n g ☽•☾\u003cbr\u003eI offer enfleurage in sizes of 1ml (a sample of approximately 20-25 drops), 5ml and 10ml. 1ml (sample size) comes in a hinge top pod. 5ml comes in a glass jar. 10ml is available in a glass jar or a round tin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease make your selection from the menu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003er a w ☽•☾ m a t t e r\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont.

The only ingredients are fresh French lilac flowers from my family's 35 year old heirloom Vermont lilacs, organic avocado butter, and very raw beeswax. It is organic and handmade. The scent is exquisite, delicate, and true to fresh lilacs. Enfleurage is the only natural process that can capture the ephemeral scent of blooming lilac. This \"pommade\" (highly scented solid perfume-- not to be confused with pomade for hair!) consists of thousands of individual organic lilac blossoms that I collected by hand at my home, laid onto an emulsion of organic avocado butter and raw beeswax. I repeat this process each year for 8-10 hours a day during the 2 weeks they bloom to reach a degree of fragrance saturation. A lilac aroma that is true to the flower is notoriously difficult to capture and bottle. As you can see in the photos, I pull off the individual flowers from the panicles (bunches). Removing the stems, branches, and leaves eliminates the swampy scent that some lilac enfleurage has because these green parts have a high water content, little floral aroma, and give off notes of decay when not removed beforehand. This is the most time consuming part of my process but the end result is worth it! In my enfleurage, the lilac scent is floral, green, and airy with sheer notes of apricot, rosewater and orange flower. It is very much the opposite of the shrill, overpowering version of the synthetic floral you find at the fragrance counter. Only you and those closest to you will be able to smell it.

I like to pick tuberose flowers in various stages of opening for enfleurage. My favorite are the double blossomed, although I also grow the single blossom variety. The double have a more powerful fragrance, opening with frosty wintergreen notes. When fully opened they are creamier, though not exactly sweet, and less minty. Tuberose is creamy like sour or heavy cream, while gardenia is creamy like custard or pastry cream. Tuberose also has ethereal lily notes that are not present in gardenia. Some people denote coconut notes in tuberose and\/or gardenia, but I don't find that fruit's aroma to be present in either. Mango in gardenia, yes, and perhaps papaya, but no coconut. Tuberose has a menthol saltiness especially when first opening. As they decline and desiccate on the enfleurage pommade their wintergreen notes reemerge.

Star jasmine has a wet scent with more body, transporting you to a rainforest, while J. polyanthum's perfume takes place on a soft tropical beach with sand so bleached and uniform in grain size that you cannot pick out the coral from the shells. Like plumeria, it borders on suntan lotion with its anti-gourmand milkiness (lotion). And other Jasminum species (grandiflorum and sambac) have a vibrant nectar note bulging between peach and beaujolais. J. polyanthum smells less vibrant and more feathery. Its fragrance is the cockatoo of jasmines. Indolic fecal fecundity is absent. It smells green, young, immature. It has blossomed without ripening. Unlike J. nitidum and laurifolium (angel wing jasmines), it doesn't have the \"extra sharp,\" non-fruity indolic edge that is striking in the angel wing types. Adding to its childlike impression, there is something very nostalgic about J. polyanthum and redolent of a Tonka corporation children's toy from the 1980s: Keypers. The pastel Keypers were made in the shapes of animals (snail, horse, turtle, swan, ladybug) and their pliable plastic bodies had a distinct smell. It was less sweet  than the smell of Cabbage Patch dolls, less plasticky than (the unscented) My Little Ponies or Barbies. The Keypers had the faded aroma of a vague flower. Jasminum polyanthum has the same powdery, fluffy scent, but much more concentrated. Sometimes people say they would prefer not to wear carnal smelling perfumes to work or in public-- these are usually compositions heavy in jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose, musks, and animalics. Undoubtedly these are the notes associated with human, animal, and botanical sexualities. I always think it is funny when adults deem perfumes without floral sex organs on display as more appropriate to wear in public, and the more adult scents \"obscene.\" It seems like olfactory catfishing to me, or like dressing as a child. When the obscene thing might actually be dousing oneself in prepubescent drag (no judgment). Because it is less candied, I hesitate to place J. polyanthum among the more childlike, prudish, and sugary Victorian flowers: phlox, carnation, dianthus, heliotrope. To me polyanthum is more along the lines of Bette Davis as Baby Jane than as the baby Baby Jane: the jasmine that dresses like a child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildveilperfume.com\/collections\/enfleurage\/products\/cestrum-nocturnum-enfleurage-night-blooming-jasmine\"\u003eCestrum nocturnum\u003c\/a\u003e - Cestrum has a thick powdery scent halfway between heliotrope and honeysuckle.

Gardenia jasminoides bears such aromatic range that I decided this flower deserved more than a full spectrum enfleurage, which itself is deep and glorious. Some varieties are heavy with civet; many breeds are lush and wet smelling; some have notes of poplar and propolis; while others carry whiffs of mango terpenes. Enfleurage by cultivar slices more finely the specificity of floral aura, an endeavor I hope will enrich the olfactory catalog I am building with Wild Veil.

Only enfleurage records the full expression of a blossom's fragrance, with all the nuances of age.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWild Veil is dedicated to enfleurage, and my gardenia jasminoides enfleurage is a deep and powerful way to commune with the flower, with 14 varieties from my gardens contributing their distinct aromas. The result is an organic gardenia solid perfume-- a rarity. Its scent is indulgent, deep, creamy, and languorous. Something more than the sum of jasmine, star jasmine, tuberose, and lily. Enfleurage brings out the intricate wintergreen, mango, and pine back notes of this thick white custard of a flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEach gardenia cultivar smells unique, with a distinct scent arc.

Their quilted white petals are the scent of heaven on earth. Upon opening, the Double Mint has lemons and fresh butter, like lemon curd, then it takes on a fruity peach-jasmine scent that lasts until a pungent musk emerges in its last days. August Beauty is a ripe mango that strangely gets fresher before acquiring a final green mushroom odor. Daisy opens buttery with some of the richness of champaca, expiring in mushroomy indole death. Crown Jewel is a pineapple burst, a hint of apricot patchouli typical of osmanthus. And Tea has a loamy crimini profile undercutting its grand sweet nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn my enfleurage I select fresh blossoms in all the stages of bloom so the pommade will memorialize this flower’s complexity. Each day (sometimes twice a day) I check each flower resting on the fat to make sure it is still moving aromatically. A flower will last on the fat for anywhere from 1 to 5 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLiterally, \"in flower,\" enfleurage is a traditional, labor intensive, and pure method of extracting fragrance, utilizing only fat and plant material. Enfleurage is also the method of perfume extraction that most closely replicates the odor profile of the original flower: each flower's complex fragrant arc from bud to bloom is imprinted in fat, where it is stored. The scent is true to the blossom, but subtle, requiring you to bend in close for a sniff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhen I smell gardenia, I feel medicated, hypnotized, lulled. The world slows down and I am \"into\" the flower as with no other. I have used enfleurage to capture gardenia's enveloping, exotic aroma. Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of individual organic gardenia blossoms from my garden, laid to rest on organic avocado butter by hand. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and equatorial. It is very much the opposite of the shrill, overpowering version of a synthetic floral you find at the fragrance counter. Only you and those closest to you will be able to smell it. Apply to pulse points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLEASE READ: \u003cbr\u003e**Although the floral perfume produced by enfleurage is osmically balanced (meaning it contains sufficiently complex interplay of top through base notes to be considered a perfume in itself), it is a subtle creation. It must be given time to breathe on the skin. When cold, it may not smell much at all. Allow it to breathe and warm on a pulse point before inhaling deeply. Most noses love the aroma of my enfleurage but, a small percent of my clients are anosmic to enfleurage and therefore cannot smell the floral fragrance. This has to do with natural differences in nasal receptors and is not due to an issue with the product. I always recommend ordering a sample before committing to a larger size for this reason.**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA B O U T • W I L D • V E I L • E N F L E U R A G E\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnfleurage is a beautiful process whereby odorless fats that are solid at room temperature are used to capture the fragrant compounds exuded by plants. Enfleurage is by far one of the oldest methods of fragrance extraction, and it is nearly extinct. Only a handful of artisans still practice it today as it is no longer used in the manufacture of perfumes on a mass scale. A voluptuous art, enfleurage is quite the labor of love, consuming time, labor, and expense. Historically enfleurage was done by women, or maidens, in the fields of Grasse, France. Although far rarer to find enfleurage products in the market today, is still \"largely\" practiced by women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two types of enfleurage: \"cold\" and \"hot.\" Wild Veil exclusively uses cold enfleurage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cold enfleurage, a large framed plate of glass, called a chassis, is smeared with a layer of fat, traditionally unscented animal fat rendered from lard or tallow, and allowed to set. My enfleurage products are organic and botanical; I purvey fats from a variety of nut and plant butters such as shea, jojoba, avocado, fair trade palm, and mango. Botanical matter, usually petals or whole flowers, is then placed on the fat and its scent is allowed to diffuse into the fat over the course of 1-3 days. The process is then repeated (up to 36 times depending on the fat and the botanical matter) by replacing the spent botanicals with fresh ones until the fat has reached a desired degree of fragrance saturation. The cold fat process was developed in southern France in the 18th century for the production of high-grade concentrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn hot enfleurage, solid fats are heated and botanical matter is stirred into the fat. Spent botanicals are repeatedly strained from the fat and replaced with fresh material until the fat is saturated with fragrance. This method is considered the oldest known procedure for preserving plant fragrance substances. So far Wild Veil only incorporates cold enfleurage into products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both instances, once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the \"enfleurage pommade.\" This is a highly perfumed solid fat, not to be confused with pomade used for styling hair. Historically, this enfleurage pommade was either sold as it was,* or it could be further washed or soaked in ethyl alcohol to draw the fragrant molecules into the alcohol. When the alcohol was separated from the fat and allowed to evaporate, it would leave behind the absolute of the botanical matter. The spent fat would typically be used to make soaps since it is still fairly fragrant. *This listing is for an organic pommade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advent of modern perfumery ushered in the ease and relative inexpense of commercial solvent-based extraction of natural materials along with mass production of synthetic compounds, making the art of enfleurage seem highly inefficient and costly in comparison. The method is now superseded by more efficient techniques such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction using liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) or similar compressed gasses. Enfleurage had been the sole method of extracting the fragrant compounds (containing thousands of aromachemicals) from delicate floral botanical such as jasmine and tuberose, which can be destroyed or denatured by the high temperatures required by cheaper methods of fragrance extraction such as steam distillation. It is still believed by some perfumers that enfleurage remains the only way to capture and preserve the full range of complexity of certain scents, particularly of flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003es i z i n g ☽•☾\u003cbr\u003eI offer enfleurage in sizes of 1ml (a sample of approximately 20-25 drops), 5ml and 10ml. 1ml (sample size) comes in a hinge top pod. 5ml comes in a glass jar. 10ml is available in a glass jar or a round tin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease make your selection from the menu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003er a w ☽•☾ m a t t e r\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont.

Enfleurage is by far one of the oldest methods of fragrance extraction, and it is nearly extinct. Only a handful of artisans still practice it today as it is no longer used in the manufacture of perfumes on a mass scale. A voluptuous art, enfleurage is quite the labor of love, consuming time, labor, and expense. Historically enfleurage was done by women, or maidens, in the fields of Grasse, France. Although far rarer to find enfleurage products in the market today, is still \"largely\" practiced by women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two types of enfleurage: \"cold\" and \"hot.\" Wild Veil exclusively uses cold enfleurage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cold enfleurage, a large framed plate of glass, called a chassis, is smeared with a layer of fat, traditionally unscented animal fat rendered from lard or tallow, and allowed to set. My enfleurage products are organic and botanical; I purvey fats from a variety of nut and plant butters such as shea, jojoba, avocado, fair trade palm, and mango. Botanical matter, usually petals or whole flowers, is then placed on the fat and its scent is allowed to diffuse into the fat over the course of 1-3 days. The process is then repeated (up to 36 times depending on the fat and the botanical matter) by replacing the spent botanicals with fresh ones until the fat has reached a desired degree of fragrance saturation. The cold fat process was developed in southern France in the 18th century for the production of high-grade concentrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn hot enfleurage, solid fats are heated and botanical matter is stirred into the fat. Spent botanicals are repeatedly strained from the fat and replaced with fresh material until the fat is saturated with fragrance. This method is considered the oldest known procedure for preserving plant fragrance substances. So far Wild Veil only incorporates cold enfleurage into products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both instances, once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the \"enfleurage pommade.\" This is a highly perfumed solid fat, not to be confused with pomade used for styling hair. Historically, this enfleurage pommade was either sold as it was,* or it could be further washed or soaked in ethyl alcohol to draw the fragrant molecules into the alcohol. When the alcohol was separated from the fat and allowed to evaporate, it would leave behind the absolute of the botanical matter. The spent fat would typically be used to make soaps since it is still fairly fragrant. *This listing is for an organic pommade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advent of modern perfumery ushered in the ease and relative inexpense of commercial solvent-based extraction of natural materials along with mass production of synthetic compounds, making the art of enfleurage seem highly inefficient and costly in comparison. The method is now superseded by more efficient techniques such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction using liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) or similar compressed gasses. Enfleurage had been the sole method of extracting the fragrant compounds (containing thousands of aromachemicals) from delicate floral botanical such as jasmine and tuberose, which can be destroyed or denatured by the high temperatures required by cheaper methods of fragrance extraction such as steam distillation. It is still believed by some perfumers that enfleurage remains the only way to capture and preserve the full range of complexity of certain scents, particularly of flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003es i z i n g ☽•☾\u003cbr\u003eI offer enfleurage in sizes of 1ml (a sample of approximately 20-25 drops), 5ml and 10ml. 1ml (sample size) comes in a hinge top pod. 5ml comes in a glass jar. 10ml is available in a glass jar or a round tin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease make your selection from the menu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003er a w ☽•☾ m a t t e r\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont.

Gardenia jasminoides bears such aromatic range that I decided this flower deserved more than a full spectrum enfleurage, which itself is deep and glorious. Some varieties are heavy with civet; many breeds are lush and wet smelling; some have notes of poplar and propolis; while others carry whiffs of mango terpenes. Enfleurage by cultivar slices more finely the specificity of floral aura, an endeavor I hope will enrich the olfactory catalog I am building with Wild Veil.

This ancient technique is the sole method of scent extraction that captures the entire arc of a flower's headspace, from opening to last breath. Other technologies--tincture, steam distillation, and supercritical co2 extraction-- freeze and capture but a moment in a flower's aromatic evolution. Only enfleurage records the full expression of a blossom's fragrance, with all the nuances of age.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWild Veil is dedicated to enfleurage, and my gardenia jasminoides enfleurage is a deep and powerful way to commune with the flower, with 14 varieties from my gardens contributing their distinct aromas. The result is an organic gardenia solid perfume-- a rarity. Its scent is indulgent, deep, creamy, and languorous. Something more than the sum of jasmine, star jasmine, tuberose, and lily. Enfleurage brings out the intricate wintergreen, mango, and pine back notes of this thick white custard of a flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach gardenia cultivar smells unique, with a distinct scent arc.

Their quilted white petals are the scent of heaven on earth. Upon opening, the Double Mint has lemons and fresh butter, like lemon curd, then it takes on a fruity peach-jasmine scent that lasts until a pungent musk emerges in its last days. August Beauty is a ripe mango that strangely gets fresher before acquiring a final green mushroom odor. Daisy opens buttery with some of the richness of champaca, expiring in mushroomy indole death. Crown Jewel is a pineapple burst, a hint of apricot patchouli typical of osmanthus. And Tea has a loamy crimini profile undercutting its grand sweet nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn my enfleurage I select fresh blossoms in all the stages of bloom so the pommade will memorialize this flower’s complexity. Each day (sometimes twice a day) I check each flower resting on the fat to make sure it is still moving aromatically. A flower will last on the fat for anywhere from 1 to 5 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiterally, \"in flower,\" enfleurage is a traditional, labor intensive, and pure method of extracting fragrance, utilizing only fat and plant material. Enfleurage is also the method of perfume extraction that most closely replicates the odor profile of the original flower: each flower's complex fragrant arc from bud to bloom is imprinted in fat, where it is stored. The scent is true to the blossom, but subtle, requiring you to bend in close for a sniff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I smell gardenia, I feel medicated, hypnotized, lulled. The world slows down and I am \"into\" the flower as with no other. I have used enfleurage to capture gardenia's enveloping, exotic aroma. Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of individual organic gardenia blossoms from my garden, laid to rest on organic avocado butter by hand. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and equatorial. It is very much the opposite of the shrill, overpowering version of a synthetic floral you find at the fragrance counter. Only you and those closest to you will be able to smell it.

From milky mango lassi to yeasty \u003cspan title=\"French-language text\"\u003epâte à choux, to civet, tropical rain, and custard, this organic marvel has been known anecdotally to have antidepressant and anxiolytic effects. Gardenia enfleurage is one of my favorite extractions to make, and it concentrates and displays the flower's fragrant span. Each jar embodies the historical record of that harvest, the climate, soil, air, and expression of those specific flowers in it.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e          During summer 2022 I had 300-500 new gardenia flowers open each day in the Wild Veil Perfume gardens, equating to approximately 40,000 blossoms for the season. Once I surpassed previous years' product volume in early July, I set fresh pommade and designated chassis by cultivar. Gardenia jasminoides bears such aromatic range that I decided this flower deserved more than a full spectrum enfleurage, which itself is deep and glorious. Some varieties are heavy with civet; many breeds are lush and wet smelling; some have notes of poplar and propolis; while others carry whiffs of mango terpenes. Enfleurage by cultivar slices more finely the specificity of floral aura, an endeavor I hope will enrich the olfactory catalog I am building with Wild Veil. This listing is for the \"Bridal\" variety. The noes are creamy-fruity and include apple banana, cherimoya\/custard apple, Formosa lily (Lilium formosanum), kiwifruit, snapdragons, and cream top yogurt.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eListed are several of my Gardenia jasminoides enfleurage by cultivar.

This ancient technique is the sole method of scent extraction that captures the entire arc of a flower's headspace, from opening to last breath. Other technologies--tincture, steam distillation, and supercritical co2 extraction-- freeze and capture but a moment in a flower's aromatic evolution. Only enfleurage records the full expression of a blossom's fragrance, with all the nuances of age.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWild Veil is dedicated to enfleurage, and my gardenia jasminoides enfleurage is a deep and powerful way to commune with the flower, with 14 varieties from my gardens contributing their distinct aromas. The result is an organic gardenia solid perfume-- a rarity. Its scent is indulgent, deep, creamy, and languorous. Something more than the sum of jasmine, star jasmine, tuberose, and lily. Enfleurage brings out the intricate wintergreen, mango, and pine back notes of this thick white custard of a flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach gardenia cultivar smells unique, with a distinct scent arc. To name a few: \u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eAimee Yoshioka’s enormous flowers announce their fragrant presence before you see them. Their quilted white petals are the scent of heaven on earth. Upon opening, the Double Mint has lemons and fresh butter, like lemon curd, then it takes on a fruity peach-jasmine scent that lasts until a pungent musk emerges in its last days. August Beauty is a ripe mango that strangely gets fresher before acquiring a final green mushroom odor. Daisy opens buttery with some of the richness of champaca, expiring in mushroomy indole death. Crown Jewel is a pineapple burst, a hint of apricot patchouli typical of osmanthus. And Tea has a loamy crimini profile undercutting its grand sweet nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn my enfleurage I select fresh blossoms in all the stages of bloom so the pommade will memorialize this flower’s complexity. Each day (sometimes twice a day) I check each flower resting on the fat to make sure it is still moving aromatically. A flower will last on the fat for anywhere from 1 to 5 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiterally, \"in flower,\" enfleurage is a traditional, labor intensive, and pure method of extracting fragrance, utilizing only fat and plant material. Enfleurage is also the method of perfume extraction that most closely replicates the odor profile of the original flower: each flower's complex fragrant arc from bud to bloom is imprinted in fat, where it is stored. The scent is true to the blossom, but subtle, requiring you to bend in close for a sniff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I smell gardenia, I feel medicated, hypnotized, lulled. The world slows down and I am \"into\" the flower as with no other. I have used enfleurage to capture gardenia's enveloping, exotic aroma. Enfleurage produces a \"pommade,\" which is a highly scented solid perfume and not to be confused with pomade for hair! This pommade consists of individual organic gardenia blossoms from my garden, laid to rest on organic avocado butter by hand. They are left to breathe on the fat through their fragrant lifespan, then removed, washed, and dried. I repeat this process to reach a high degree of fragrance saturation. Each reposition is a \"charge,\" and this enfleurage was charged the traditional 36 times. The aroma is thick, tropical, and equatorial. It is very much the opposite of the shrill, overpowering version of a synthetic floral you find at the fragrance counter. Only you and those closest to you will be able to smell it. Apply to pulse points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePLEASE READ: \u003cbr\u003e**Although the floral perfume produced by enfleurage is osmically balanced (meaning it contains sufficiently complex interplay of top through base notes to be considered a perfume in itself), it is a subtle creation. It must be given time to breathe on the skin. When cold, it may not smell much at all. Allow it to breathe and warm on a pulse point before inhaling deeply. Most noses love the aroma of my enfleurage but, a small percent of my clients are anosmic to enfleurage and therefore cannot smell the floral fragrance. This has to do with natural differences in nasal receptors and is not due to an issue with the product. I always recommend ordering a sample before committing to a larger size for this reason.**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA B O U T • W I L D • V E I L • E N F L E U R A G E\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnfleurage is a beautiful process whereby odorless fats that are solid at room temperature are used to capture the fragrant compounds exuded by plants. Enfleurage is by far one of the oldest methods of fragrance extraction, and it is nearly extinct. Only a handful of artisans still practice it today as it is no longer used in the manufacture of perfumes on a mass scale. A voluptuous art, enfleurage is quite the labor of love, consuming time, labor, and expense. Historically enfleurage was done by women, or maidens, in the fields of Grasse, France. Although far rarer to find enfleurage products in the market today, is still \"largely\" practiced by women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere are two types of enfleurage: \"cold\" and \"hot.\" Wild Veil exclusively uses cold enfleurage:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn cold enfleurage, a large framed plate of glass, called a chassis, is smeared with a layer of fat, traditionally unscented animal fat rendered from lard or tallow, and allowed to set. My enfleurage products are organic and botanical; I purvey fats from a variety of nut and plant butters such as shea, jojoba, avocado, fair trade palm, and mango. Botanical matter, usually petals or whole flowers, is then placed on the fat and its scent is allowed to diffuse into the fat over the course of 1-3 days. The process is then repeated (up to 36 times depending on the fat and the botanical matter) by replacing the spent botanicals with fresh ones until the fat has reached a desired degree of fragrance saturation. The cold fat process was developed in southern France in the 18th century for the production of high-grade concentrates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn hot enfleurage, solid fats are heated and botanical matter is stirred into the fat. Spent botanicals are repeatedly strained from the fat and replaced with fresh material until the fat is saturated with fragrance. This method is considered the oldest known procedure for preserving plant fragrance substances. So far Wild Veil only incorporates cold enfleurage into products.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn both instances, once the fat is saturated with fragrance, it is then called the \"enfleurage pommade.\" This is a highly perfumed solid fat, not to be confused with pomade used for styling hair. Historically, this enfleurage pommade was either sold as it was,* or it could be further washed or soaked in ethyl alcohol to draw the fragrant molecules into the alcohol. When the alcohol was separated from the fat and allowed to evaporate, it would leave behind the absolute of the botanical matter. The spent fat would typically be used to make soaps since it is still fairly fragrant. *This listing is for an organic pommade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe advent of modern perfumery ushered in the ease and relative inexpense of commercial solvent-based extraction of natural materials along with mass production of synthetic compounds, making the art of enfleurage seem highly inefficient and costly in comparison. The method is now superseded by more efficient techniques such as solvent extraction or supercritical fluid extraction using liquid carbon dioxide (CO2) or similar compressed gasses. Enfleurage had been the sole method of extracting the fragrant compounds (containing thousands of aromachemicals) from delicate floral botanical such as jasmine and tuberose, which can be destroyed or denatured by the high temperatures required by cheaper methods of fragrance extraction such as steam distillation. It is still believed by some perfumers that enfleurage remains the only way to capture and preserve the full range of complexity of certain scents, particularly of flowers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003es i z i n g ☽•☾\u003cbr\u003eI offer enfleurage in sizes of 1ml (a sample of approximately 20-25 drops), 5ml and 10ml. 1ml (sample size) comes in a hinge top pod. 5ml comes in a glass jar. 10ml is available in a glass jar or a round tin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease make your selection from the menu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003er a w ☽•☾ m a t t e r\u003cbr\u003eWild Veil natural perfumes are composed by me, Abby, using homemade, wildcrafted and organic aromatics in Vermont.
