nymphaea caerulea flower absolute

Nymphaea caerulea flower absolute is a concentrated aromatic extract derived from the water lily species Nymphaea caerulea, commonly known as the blue lotus. This absolute presents a rich, complex floral scent with waxy, green, oriental, and herbal nuances, offering depth to fragrance formulations. Synonyms include blue lotus absolute and water lily flower absolute (Nymphaea caerulea). It belongs to the class of flower absolutes obtained through solvent extraction, typically from fresh or dried petals of the blue lotus flower. Chemical databases such as PubChem provide profiles that assist in identifying its molecular composition. The absolute is sourced from the blossoms of Nymphaea caerulea, a plant native to the Nile region, traditionally harvested for its aromatic properties.

Nymphaea caerulea flower absolute is extracted from the blossoms of the blue lotus plant, which naturally occurs in aquatic environments like the Nile River basin. It finds primary application in the fragrance industry, where it functions as a floral aromatic ingredient in perfumes and scented products. The absolute's unique sensory profile contributes to oriental and green fragrance accords. Regulatory bodies such as IFRA (Global) address usage recommendations for such natural extracts to ensure safe application. Although rich in olfactory qualities, this absolute is not employed as a flavoring agent, aligning with current safety guidelines and usage standards within perfumery.

The absolute is a viscous, concentrated extract displaying a complex floral aroma characterized by waxy, green, herbal, and oriental notes at full concentration. Its physico-chemical profile shows solubility typical for absolutes derived via solvent extraction, facilitating their use in perfumery blends. The composition's volatility and chemical constituents influence how it interacts with other fragrance materials and solvents. The absence of specific classified hazards and toxicity data suggests standard handling precautions apply. The extract’s stability and aromatic persistence support its inclusion in a range of fragranced formulations requiring consistency and depth.
