What extraction method is used to produce the gardenia flower wax?
The wax is produced by solvent extraction of fresh, hand-picked gardenia blossoms — the classic technique used for premium floral absolutes and waxes.
Process Overview
- Fresh blossoms are harvested at full bloom
- Solvent extraction captures the full aromatic profile, including heavier, waxy constituents
- Solvent is removed under vacuum, leaving the natural wax with its complete fragrance complex
This method preserves the rich, heady white-floral scent with sweet-creamy undertones that gardenia is prized for. Unlike steam distillation, solvent extraction retains the full-bodied character and creamy depth that perfumers value in white-floral compositions.
Residual solvent levels are controlled and verified per batch in the COA. Send your required residual solvent specification for confirmation.
