Product Overview

Our exquisite White Lotus Absolute has a warm green floral aroma with earthy, sweet, fruity-floral undertones, traces of indole and an overall deep richness. It is a beautiful addition to fine natural perfumes and anointing oils. While similar to our Pink Lotus Absolute, this absolute is bolder and not quite as sweet. Even when highly diluted, the fragrance of White 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 White Lotus Absolute carries a long lineage of the sacred that can add unparalleled depth and elevation to perfume creations and anointing oils.
