The oil is a clear to pale yellow liquid, shading from pale yellow to light amber depending on harvest year and extraction method, with a thin, free-flowing consistency typical of floral steam-distilled oils.

Color and density are checked against GB 1886.274-2016 limits on every batch, and the actual values are printed on the COA so your incoming inspection can verify visually and by refractometer.Request the current-batch COA with color and density readings before you book bulk — we will send it with the sample.
