GOLDEN CHAMPA

Michelia Champaca, India, solvent extracted.

Extracted from the creamy yellow blossoms of the Golden Champa tree.  We are all in love with this lush, rich floral.  It seems to have the exotic flair of Tuberose, with much more softness and sweetness.  Arctander describes true Champaca Absolute as a delicate dry-floral, with notes of Orange Blossom, Ylang Ylang, Carnation and Tea Rose.  Arctander recommends using Sandalwood as an anchor for this lovely absolute, and says it blends beautifully with Carnation, Rose, Violet, etc. 

Golden Champa is one of the key ingredients in Joy, the world's most costly perfumes.

In India, a scented oil infused from the Golden Champa blossom is used for relief of vertigo and headaches.  We have no idea if the diluted absolute would have the same effect.  (But the sufferer would surely smell lovely.)

Also available in a 10% dilution

The same delightful Michelia Champaca Absolute in a skinsafe 10% dilution in Fractionated Coconut Oil, ready to wear as an exotic floral perfume.
