Lilac and Peach Honey Enfleurage.

The Wild Veil Lilac & Peach Honey Enfleurage is an organic, whole plant perfume made using the traditional method of cold enfleurage of fresh lilac flowers from my family's 40 year old heirloom French lilacs. I first fixed the pommade with my absolute of raw peach honey (from bees that primarily gathered nectar from Georgia peach trees). I tinctured the raw honey for a year, then used natural evaporation to slowly reduce the solution to an absolute. The absolute smells fruity, agrestic, and intimate, with notes of cooked peaches. I gently worked it into avocado butter to fix the pommade for enfleurage. I spread the scented fat very thin (1/8 inch) and I laid fresh flowers on it, recharging daily until saturated. With lilac and peach, this enfleurage captures hot southern evenings, languorous with sweet tea and wraparound porches. I only use the individual blossoms (not whole inflorescence or "bunches"). This maximizes surface area and uses as little of the whole plant as possible,
