pink nelumbo nucifera flower absolute

Pink Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Absolute is a natural aromatic extract derived from the petals of the pink Indian lotus flower, Nelumbo nucifera. This material is known for its complex scent profile that combines floral, fruity, leathery, powdery, and spicy notes, offering a distinct olfactory experience. It appears as a concentrated absolute, primarily used in perfumery and fragrance applications due to its potent aroma. Synonyms include pink east Indian lotus flower absolute, pink oriental lotus flower absolute, and pink sacred lotus flower absolute, among others. It is sourced from the blossoms of the lotus plant, which holds cultural and botanical significance.

Pink Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Absolute is extracted from the pink Indian lotus, a plant widely distributed in aquatic environments across Asia. Its occurrence is naturally linked to these blooming lotus flowers. This absolute finds primary application as a fragrance ingredient, contributing its complex floral and fruity character to perfume compositions and scented products. It is used exclusively for fragrance according to the IFRA Code of Practice (Global), which provides recommendations for safe usage levels in perfumery. Notably, the absolute is not used as a flavoring agent. The regulatory framework ensures its application remains within specified norms to maintain product safety and consumer protection.

This absolute is soluble in alcohol but insoluble in water, reflecting its hydrophobic and lipophilic nature typical of many fragrance absolutes. These solubility properties influence its formulation in perfumery, requiring alcoholic or oil-based solvents for proper incorporation into products. The physical form is likely viscous and concentrated, suited for blending at low percentages due to its potent scent. Its complex aromatic profile is stable under normal usage conditions, but care must be taken with exposure to water and compatible solvents. These chemical characteristics affect handling and mixing processes within industrial fragrance manufacturing.
