Description and Uses: Our organic Tuberose Essential Oil is pure undiluted Tuberose Oil extracted by. Most Tuberose Oil is extracted by harsh chemical solvents and is therefore called an "absolute" (Tuberose Absolute). While our Tuberose Oil is technically an absolute too, it is most rare, coming from a small grower/extractor in South America who extracts the essenital oil from the flower by the ancient method of enfleurage, using only palm oil (organic) and alcohol (organic) derived from local sugar cane (organic). The entire process of extracting the tuberose oil it done by hand using no heat and no harsh chemical solvents. Pure local palm oil is used to absorb the aromatic oils from the tuberose flower petals and once the palm oil is completely saturated with the essence of the tuberose flower then the palm oil is separated from the Tuberose oil by cane sugar alcohol which is then evaporated to leave only the pure Tuberose oil.

The process for producing the Tuberose Absolute by Enfleurage is quite labor intensive and requires many pounds of tuberose flower petals per ml of oil but the results are astounding. If you close your eyes and inhale the aroma of the tuberose oil, it cannot be differentiated from the actual tuberose flower.

More Info: Tuberose essential oil / tuberose absolute is one of the most precious oils in the world and is renouned for its mesmerizing aroma and fragrance. During the extraction process, fresh, fully opened flowers are plucked from the tuberose plant and carefully laid on trays covered with a layer of palm oil. The essential oils from the flower petals slowly migrate to the palm oil and the process is repeated until the palm oil is completely saturated with the oil of the Tuberose. Then the Tuberose oil is separated from the palm oil by alcohol which then evaporated leaving only the pure Tuberose oil, i.e., Tuberose Essential Oil / Tuberose Absolute.

The heavy, sometimes slightly spicy, tenacious and sweet-floral fragrance of the Tuberose flower is quite distinct from all others. Perfumes using Tuberose are considered to be quite fabulous and are very expensive. In fact, a simple Tuberose Perfume can be made by simply diluting the Tuberose Essential Oil to about 5% in a carrier or base oil on in alcohol or a combo of the two. The unique aroma of Tuberose can rejuvenate the mind and body and Tuberose´s magical fragrance is also considered to have powers as an aphrodisiac. In India it is called "Mistress of the Night". Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) is native to Central America. Aztec healers called it omixochitl (bone-flower) due to the waxy, luminous white flowers. In Ayurvedic tradition, tuberose is also known to stimulate serenity, creativity and psychic powers and is used to increase capacity for emotional depth by opening the crown chakra. Tuberose is also said to increase artistic inspiration as it stimulates creativity and brings serenity to the mind and heart. Additionally, it possesses powerful anti-spasmodic and anti-inflammatory healing properties as well.

Tuberose oil cannot be distilled like most essential oils due to the delicate nature of the flowers. Enfleurage was the traditional method of extraction used in ancient Egypt and into the early 20th century but solvent extraction using hexane, to create "absolutes", has virtually replaced enfleurage, except, of course, for our own Tuberose Absolute. Solvent extracted Tuberose is used extensively by the perfume industry but, again, not by us (no chemicals other than organic alcohol are used to extract the Tuberose Essential Oil that we sell). Either method (enfleurage or solvent extraction) is time consuming and oil yields are quite small for the amount of materials used. Over 3500 pounds of blossoms are needed to produce 1 pound of the essential oil which is why Tuberose Essential Oil is one of the most expensive oils on earth, even more than most rose attars. Tuberose oil is frequently combined with jasmine and orange blossom in perfumery to produce a tuberose perfume. In traditional Hawaian wedding ceremoniesTuberose flowers are worn as a wreath around the head of the bride.
