Use fractionated coconut oil instead. Its odorless and it’s what we use in perfumery when we want to make roll fragrances. Trust me.

Thanks for the tip!

Hi! Does the oil resolidify while the petals are steeping? If so, do you melt the whole thing again to get liquid, then strain? And repeat? Thank you SO much for this!

I love my gardenia bush! It’s funny that you’re teaching on the same flower. I’m leaving for 3 months, as my daughter is being induced, and I’ll be helping out during recovery. My gardenias are in full bloom, and I wanted something that reminds me of home.

THANK YOU! Yes and so relaxing I love your style super easy to follow your simple instructions thanks a bunch!

You just made my day I’ve been searching none stop for this thank you so much

This is so helpful. I can't wait to give this a go. This video is relaxing, and the peaceful vibe at the end made me smile. Thanks for sharing

Thank you very much for giving a beautiful video, you have covered the entire subject in a very short time, thank you very much

Thank you so much. I'm down for complicated tasks but this is very simple. I have some magnolias flowering nonstop atm.

OMG so happy I found you ! My gardenia bush is taking off blooming like crazy ! I was searching what I could do with the flowers and found you ! I am gonna make this starting today !! Thanks so much and I can’t wait for the final product !! ❤

Wow! That is so not complicated 😃 Thank you for sharing. I think I have all the needed supplies on hand to give it a try.

This is so helpful thank you! If I wanted to make this into a perfume spray from this method would I just add denatured alcohol to this??

Please search more information on lilly of the valley. I have just read in a comment on KZread that it is poisonous and for that reason it is not used in parfumerie. Just search more info to be sure if it is ok to use these flowers.

Nice. Looks like you have made a pomade - do you ever complete the process of extracting the essential oil from the pomade? If so, what is your approach?

Thank you

Beautiful

I wonder if it is safe to use fresh flowers when making infused oils and perfumes and things like that?

Thanks💯

Is it okay to use this for oxidised flowers? Will it not work, even if they have a lot of fragrance?

thanks for the video! what species of gardenia is this?

Can you use this oil in a diffuser?

Hi- I am trying to do this but I have bugs on my roses, my gardenias- it seems like there are little bugs on anything I want to use. Do you just go through the process and then strain them? Thanks!

I have this problem too and no video or site talks about it. But, some do mention to let them sit from 30 min to dry out any excess moisture, so I think I'll do that to get rid of the bugs. But, I'm worried that I'll also get counters filled with tiny crawling bugs

@press662

After you pick the flowers I’d recommend leaving them to sit for an hour so the bugs inside get the memo it’s not a part of the plant anymore. They naturally crawl out.

You could always try gently washing the flowers as if you're trying to get rid of and dirt from them then let them dry a bit before proceeding with the rest. I don't actually know though as I am just now doing some research into trying to make my own kind of perfume/cologne from sweetgum leaves because I love how they smell when crushed up.

I would wash them off because you don’t want the flower to dry out.

Very nice oil extraction method. Not enfleurage, but nice nonetheless.

Yes, if kept in cooler temps. It will be stiffer if you whip it in the blender and mix in some natural aloe

I was wondering if Vitamin E in the small capsules don't become spoiled or rancid. I see my container of Vit E says that they may expire soon and I wonder how the oil in the mixture stays fresh. Also, the coconut oil when it sits for too long, can also become rancid. Is there another way of preserving the oil? Can it be kept in the fridge to keep it fresher? Can you recommend a way to strain the flowers without having to have hands and possible germs or bacteria or even natural oils from hands possibly adulterating the oil that was just strained? Do you really think that 12 hours is enough to get the smell out or what would happen if we kept it longer?

In the US everything has an expiration so that we have the maximum freshness faster it moves faster . The majority of products on the shelves do not spoil or become inedible, even though most medications are still good after their expiration date for a period of time most of them are not harmful they just lose potency potency. Vitamin e is a preservative. So in this case it doesn't matter.

Where do you store then after you bottle them

If using a liquid oil it would no longer be called enfleurage. That's ok of course, but they are different methods of extracting the essence of flowers/herbs. If you steep flowers or herbs in oil it would result in an infusion. You can use fresh or dried plant matter. Steep in a cool, dark place and strain. If desired you can add new plant material and strain again. The time to steep varies. Mountain Rose Herbs has lots of instructions on how to make wonderful things. There is a chart online explaining the various methods - tea, tincture, extract, etc. Wish I could remember where. Sorry.

Can I do with peonies?

You can do with just about any flower that you enjoy. Some other flowers like jasmine are fragile and do better with no heat. If you look up enfleurage theres a bunch of videos
