This is a total CO2 extract of golden lilac blossom (Syringa vulgaris), not a steam-distilled essential oil. The low-temperature extraction captures a fresh, green floral note that steam distillation cannot, and it holds on skin and fabric far longer than most floral absolutes. The catch is texture: it is a thick, waxy solid that must be warmed and cut with alcohol, citrus oil or jojoba before it blends. It suits perfumers and DIY cosmetics makers chasing a true lilac note, not casual aromatherapy users who want a dropper bottle.

Buyers describe a true lilac scent that opens wet and green on the skin, then settles into a soft floral. Several say the fragrance lingers for days on clothing, and they rate the extract as denser and truer than a typical lilac essential oil.
Lilac Blossom CO2 Extract is a single-ingredient perfumery and cosmetics material made from 100% pure organic golden lilac blossom (Syringa vulgaris), with nothing else added. It is a total extract made by low-temperature supercritical CO2 extraction, using the golden blossoms only. The extract has a silky, thick, waxy consistency and is made in limited quantities.
The scent is fresh, subtle, floral and green, and it lasts well on the skin. It is packed in a Miron glass jar for long-term storage. A tiny amount goes a long way.
The wax is pourable with gentle warming. To use it in perfumes, blends or cosmetics, warm it gently in a Bain-marie water bath and immediately mix it with a solvent such as organic alcohol or a citrus essential oil, or with organic jojoba or another natural plant lipid. Warm the mixture gently again and shake it to combine. Work quickly, because the wax solidifies fast. For small amounts, remove some with a toothpick or similar tool and blend it into other essential oils.
