BLUE LOTUS ABSOLUTE

Odor Characteristic: Blue Lotus is unlike any other perfume aromatic having a high aporphine and nuciferine content with delicate sweet-fruity-spicy topnotes and rich, warm floral undertones. It has good tenacity, with dominant floral aspects on drydown.

Appearance: dark brown-orange viscous liquid or waxy solid
CAS No: 85085-51-4

Aromatherapy: Like other absolutes, and primarily due to the cost, Blue Lotus absolute, has not found wide use in aromatherapy.

Perfumery: Especially valuable in sacred or spiritual perfumes, it also is found in high-end Orientals, fougeres, amber-exotic compositions and a wide range of florals. It blends with many notes, including agarwood, ambrette, beeswax, spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, the jasmines, neroli, osmanthus.

One of my favorites:

"Blue Lotus is a gorgeous limpid floral with notes of freesia."
