Product Overview

Our superb Pink Lotus Absolute is a beautiful addition to fine natural perfumes and anointing oils. It has an exceptionally rich, honeyed, dense floral aroma that is earthy and creamy sweet, with a spicy green top note, ripe fruit and coumarin-like undertones, and a tenacious, slightly spicy, deep earthy richness in the drydown. While similar to our White Lotus Absolute, this absolute is softer, slightly sweeter, and a bit more refined. Even when highly diluted, the fragrance of Pink Lotus Absolute holds its fragrance.

The ancient Egyptians regarded Lotus as a sacred flower symbolizing the sun and creation; it was often depicted in the hieroglyphics and art of Upper Egypt.[1] This particular species of lotus, Nelumbo nucifera, was introduced to Egypt from Persia[2] and is now cultivated in India and throughout the world in tropical pools.[3] Living with humans for about 7,000 years, Nelumbo has developed many notable features and strategies: extraordinary seed longevity (2000 years), rhizome viability (50 years), and unmatchable water repellency (known as the 'Lotus effect' and adapted for industrial use), to name a few.

This divine aquatic plant can flourish in stunningly clear pools or the murkiest of muddy marshes and then, with dignified grace and equanimity, break the water’s surface to unfurl its iconic petals and enchanting fragrance. The lotus flower has been associated with purity, beauty and enlightenment amongst several religions, including Buddhism and Hinduism. It is also mentioned in the Greek Myths, most notably Homer’s The Odyssey. The aroma of Pink Lotus Absolute carries a long lineage of the sacred that can add unparalleled depth and elevation to perfume creations and anointing oils.

Lovely oil. Beautiful quality. I cannot wait to furthur explore the depths of this aroma. Floral yet herbaceous. Green yet woodsy. Sweet and sharp. Amazing.

I love this flower oil! It's so beautiful...never cloying. Pricey but well worth it for making a lovely perfume.

Unsure

Rating

Bought the tiny sample of this and haven't used it yet. I'm unsure how to blend it because the smell is so distinct. For some reason the initial whiff makes me think of raw pepitas and then there is a slight medicinal quality to it.

Pleasure in a bottle!

Rating

Extraordinary dept. Top, heart and base notes in one complex flower. Floral, of course, but also fruity, watery, crisp, green and musky. This material is of very high quality. Top quality! When buying exclusive costly essential oils and absolutes one must choose wisely. Eden Botanicals Pink Lotus is pure and authentic and it gives you full value for every dollar spent.
