Lilac Enfleurage.

Lilac Enfleurage is a solid perfume made by the simple but labor intensive process of cold enfleurage. The only ingredients are fresh French lilac flowers from my family's 40 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). Remo
