Gardenia, Saffron and Hunza Raisin Enfleurage.

Gardenia, Saffron and Hunza Raisin Enfleurage ☽•☾ organic, whole plant☽•☾The enfleurage pommade (base) has been fixed with my homemade hunza raisin and saffron absolutes. I first tinctured the raw materials, both organic, for 9 months, then used natural evaporation to slowly reduce the solutions to absolutes. My hunza raisin extract is soft and fruity, like muscatel, honey, and Madeira. Balanced by the piquant, heady bitters of saffron, the base is aromatic and voluptuous. I gently worked these absolutes into organic avocado butter emulsified with raw beeswax to fix the pommade for enfleurage. I spread this glittering scented fat, veined and speckled with saffron and raisin essences, and I laid fresh flowers on it, recharging daily with over ten of my gardenia jasminoides cultivars until saturated. Very limited quantity. Photos: enfleurage process, my gardenia plants, my homemade hunza raisin absolute, and my saffron crocus blooming with fresh saffron threads, enfleurage in 5ml and 10m
