What is the difference between this hydrosol and osmanthus essential oil?

The hydrosol is the water phase co-produced during distillation, while the essential oil is the oil phase — they differ in concentration, scent character and suitable use.

The hydrosol carries only the water-soluble aromatic fraction, so it is naturally gentle and cost-effective for volume applications, while the essential oil delivers maximum olfactory intensity at a fraction of the yield. Many customers source both from us — the oil for fragrance intensity, the hydrosol for body-care volume.
