Lilac CO2 ORGANIC (TOTAL)
14th August 2023: A quick note to say this new batch of Lilac CO2 (LIL23) has been produced from 2023 season material. Thanks, Adam : )
Adam Michael has this to say ” This lilac CO2 is of a waxy consistency. The fragrance is captured perfectly but the longevity is not overly good. Fresh waxy floral, a total extract, and with a little warmth it is 100% pourable. The major constituents are b-linalool, lilac aldehyde A-B-C, lilac alcohol A-D, 1,4-dimethoxybenzene, carvacrol, trimethoxbenzene, elimicin, I-elimicin, benzylbenzoate, squalene, a-amiryn, b-amiryn.”
Mark Evans has this to say “There is no lilac essential oil – the yield is non-existent. There is no lilac absolute – many attempts have failed. Throughout history the desire for the beautifully floral scent of lilacs has spawned many different blends, fragrance oils and butters and although these have become gradually more sophisticated and complex as new materials are discovered, they are all still just imitations of the naturally sweet floral delight of the natural lilac. Even the so called lilac pomades of the past were actually perfumed with a mix of benzoin, styrax and hyacinth pomade.
So it really is a great privilege to offer small amounts of this completely natural, completely real extract of lilac flowers. The yield of the CO2 extraction is small and the precious result is golden and waxy with a scent that is gentle, sweet, floral, balsamic and green with an earthy, slightly cresol-like undertone. After a while on the smelling strip, the scent turns quite spicy and cinnamon-like.
Although the fragrance of lilacs themselves may seem out-dated in these sophisticated times, it still remains an important and very useful floral component in modern perfumery.”

The only way to capture the ephemeral beauty of lilac was the enfleurage process — until the CO2 appeared on the scene. Beautiful waxy consistency of this total CO2, easy to work with once warmed up. Shy and chaste, not pushing its weight around, this beauty takes time on the skin to develop its true character, which is complex but light, while being both green and sweet and tenderly floral as only Lilac will be.

I have already bought a CO2 extract of white lilac before and I know that this material does not smell like fresh flowers. But the beauty of the lilac scent, with its delicate watercolor nuances framed by creamy wax notes, is present here.
A fragrance needs the warmth of your skin to sound in full force.
When creating perfume compositions, you should be very careful in choosing other ingredients, so as not to let the more powerful notes overshadow this heavenly scent and allow it to shine with its soft, restrained beauty.
