Description
Boronia Flower Absolute Essential Oil
5ml
Boronia megastigma
Artisan Handcrafted
Solvent Extraction
From Australian Grown Flower and Leaves
The aroma is floral and champaca-like, with fresh green notes, fruity-sweet and tea-like hints, touches of tobacco, and a warm, woody-sweet undertone. It evokes black currant and freesia, with a splash of apricot. Diluted in jojoba oil, it stays impressively strong, making it both affordable and ready to use. Absolutely gorgeous!
Boronia megastigma, also known as ‘sweet-scented’ or simply ‘brown’ Boronia, is a small shrub in the citrus (Rutaceae) family native to the southwestern tip of Western Australia and later introduced to the island of Tasmania. However, the flower does grow all over the world, including the Middle Eastern region of the world. So, this flower is not as exclusive as it once was a few years ago. But I wanted to find an artisan where the flowers are native, and I found her!
The small plum-colored flowers conceal a cheerful yellow surprise interior featuring the mega- (large) stigma (the part of the flower that is hairy or sticky and designed to capture pollen). While most of its aroma is carried in the plant’s megastigma, the ratio of leaf matter to flower is necessarily regulated since the leaves inherently contain waxes that influence the aromatic composition of the extract.
When we get this oil from our artisan producer, we also like to place this lovely oil in our flower garden to soak up the energy of the Holy Land for 18 days.
