Narcissus Jonquilla Extract

Narcissus Jonquilla is a fresh, green and slightly sweet floral note with a soft hay-like undertone. This organic extraction is remarkably clear and thinly liquid, making it easy to incorporate into perfumes.

The fragrance opens fresh and green, with a sunny florality reminiscent of jasmine and spring flowers.
In depth, a warm, slightly spicy nuance emerges that gives Jonquilla its characteristic, natural charm.

Perfect for fresh florals, green accords and classic floral scents that need an elegant, natural elevator.

Technical note:

Daffodil is not a true essential oil because the flowers cannot be steam distilled.
This product is an organic extraction, similar to an absolute but thinly liquid and easy to handle.
Therefore, it stands for optimal findability in both Absolues & Extracts and Essential Oils.

After organic extraction, vacuum distillation is used to purify the extract and make it thinly liquid for easier processing.

* Footnote:

Vacuum distillation is a purification step that takes place after the organic extraction of a flower material such as Narcissus or Osmanthus.
After the fragrances are first extracted from the flowers with a mild solvent, the extract is gently heated under reduced pressure (vacuum).
Due to the lower pressure, unwanted components – such as solvent residues, waxy compounds or heavy byproducts – evaporate at a much lower temperature than normal.

This prevents scent damage and provides a cleaner, more stable and often thin liquid end product.

So vacuum distillation does not change the way the fragrance is extracted, but refines the extract so that it is easier to incorporate into perfumes.
