Lotus Information 

The Pure Lotus Absolutes (blue, white, and pink) are cultivated in India.

"The flowers of Blue Lotus are used for ornament and as offerings in temples. They were once used as a source of perfume, Lotus (Kamal) Perfume, which was highly prized; the present day lotus perfume is a blend of patchouli, benzoin and storax with phenylethyl and cinnamic alcohols. The honey from bees which visit lotus flowers is reported to possess tonic properties and is also considered useful for infections of the eye.

The Lotus flower is often viewed as a symbol of awakening. The reason is that while it grows in muddy ponds of sometimes stagnant water, it blossoms every day with the morning sun.

Lotus is known for it's ability to calm and sooth. Users often feel more open to forgiveness and kindness.

Lotus has an exotic floral aroma with slightly herbaceous and medicinal top notes.

Lotus was sacred to Saraswati - the goddess of learning, knowledge, and wisdom.

This rarest of Lotus Blossoms, Blue, yields an ethereal absolute. Light, delicate in aroma, not as floral as the more common Pink or White Lotus Blossoms, but its' effect on the spirit is amazing. A "must have" for anyone working with the chakras, doing energy work, or using the oils as a part of their spiritual journey. This celestial & obscure Lotus oil is renowned for spiritual growth, rejuvenation, clairvoyance, healing & balancing. Use this oil for any meditative perfume oil blends, sacred products, psychic development or candle anointing. It is said to produce a feeling of joy that permeates the whole body, emanating from every cell that is delightfully wonderful and lasts for some time.The Blue Lotus provides a relaxing, euphoric sensation which helps to relieve muscle spasms and is considered a sedative. The Blue Lotus was sacred to the ancient Egyptians, as an ornamental and for its sweet smelling aroma.

Nelumbo nucifera (Pink Lotus) have become etched in folklore because of a fabulous people who supposedly occupied the north coast of Africa and lived on the lotus, which brought forgetfulness and happy indolence. The Sacred Lotus flower was also what the Ulysses' crew smoked after coming ashore following years at sea. Similar in effect to the Sacred Blue Lily of the Nile, the Pink Lotus is often steeped in wine or tea.

It is important to note that absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance, particularly the rare and exotic notes, may be lost.
