Lotus Absolute, White

I have both lotus white and pink and both are 15ml and I made a 20% dilution and 5% dilution for both and for me the white is more fruity floral and pink is more earth floral and put together is perfect.

I got a sample of the white and pink lotuses, my mom preferred the pink lotus as it was a more fruity, feminine essence, while I preferred the white lotus. As soon as I smell it, I simply am at a lost for words and am beckoned into a spiritual stillness. It almost makes me want to shed a tear or two. I am reminded of all the magnificent beauty in life. I added a tiny drop of both lotuses as well as a bunch of other essential oils into a hair oil for my mom, with the oil massaged into her scalp, she could feel her head expanding/opening like a flower and connecting to the sky, she was perfectly describing the experience of her crown chakra opening (and she doesn't necessarily know about/fully believe in chakras). However I am conflicted as to whether this lotus is of a good enough quality to be used in hair and skin care oil formulas, so far it seems pretty great, but I think I need to find an even better organic lotus oil for future use in divine skin/hair oil products I am designing. Like a non hexane/solvent, organic distilled or extract or something of that nature. Or in other words, a organic or wild lotus oil that Eden would approve for aromatherapy uses and not just for natural perfumery.

Thank you Eden Botanicals for providing this rare material. I ordered White Lotus and Pink Lotus together to compare them. I've been curious about them for a long time due to their symbolic meaning. I have only witnessed pink lotus in teas; yellow lotus growing in ponds here in the southwest U.S; and experimenting with dried white lotus petals. I diluted mine down to 10% in alcohol. As far as I can tell, the absolutes don't quite capture the scent of the lotus fully (which is normal) but it can be a great starting point to add more oils and create a rounder, more balanced, blend. Even though it is from a white lotus, the juice is darker than the pink lotus: it's a bright red orange color. It really transports you to a different terrain. It's not very sweet. It starts off dark and murky but has a fresh clear feeling as it lightens up. It does not have that slight spicy note that pink lotus has. White lotus is marshy and green to me. This also has something of a subtle smooth minty quality too. Reminds me of the earth underneath and around fresh water. It reminds me of a pond or the stones in a pond. It could probably use something lighter to lift it up like clary sage. It eventually reaches a cleaner, clearer, slightly green, aquatic scent (not like aquatic perfumes but it reminds you of fresh water). The pink lotus is heavier, sweeter, and more animalic. I've found it difficult to blend with because it easily gets overpowered and covered up but I can detect it's smoothing cool qualities after blending. I've made a fragrance based around the pink lotus that I am very happy with. I'm still working on how best to use the white lotus.

This absolute is amazing. Upon smelling this, I quickly realized that I had previously purchased a fake from another company. The other smelled sweet but didn't really do much else. This scent is very dark and aquatic to me. It smells a bit like a root to me (I can't quite describe it) but something about it just keeps pulling me in for another sniff. Thank you for always creating wonderful oils and opening my eyes to the real power of Lotus.
