Yet while the leaves of \u003cem\u003eCamellia sinensis\u003c\/em\u003e have given the world tea, and the seeds of \u003cem\u003eCamellia oleifera\u003c\/em\u003e have produced the prized tea oil of Chinese cuisine and cosmetics for centuries, the flowers of the camellia have remained almost entirely unexplored as a perfumery material. This absolute changes that entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExtracted by solvent extraction from the freshly harvested flowers of \u003cem\u003eCamellia oleifera\u003c\/em\u003e — the Tea Oil Camellia, cultivated on the slopes of Sri Lanka — this certified organic absolute captures a dimension of the camellia flower that no other product approaches: an exceptionally floral, woody, sweet, and herbaceous character of considerable depth and remarkable tenacity. It is a material that experienced natural perfumers describe as immediately compelling — a true floral absolute of unusual character that adds an exotic, slightly oriental floral dimension to compositions of all kinds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not green tea absolute, white tea absolute, or any other tea-derived material. It is the pure flower absolute of \u003cem\u003eCamellia oleifera\u003c\/em\u003e — something quite distinct, quite rare, and quite beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is immediately and pleasantly floral — a clean, slightly woody sweetness with a characteristic camellia quality that is simultaneously familiar and impossible to categorise within the conventional floral palette. It is not rose, not jasmine, not ylang — it occupies its own territory, combining a soft white floral sweetness with a woody, slightly green herbaceous depth that gives it unusual structural presence for a floral material. The tenacity is remarkable — very long-lasting on a smelling strip, anchoring and enriching surrounding materials with a quiet, persistent floral warmth that develops over many hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfumery Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCamellia Flower Absolute is primarily a heart note character material — at its finest adding an unusual and distinctive floral dimension to compositions that seek something beyond the conventional white floral palette. In oriental floral structures it adds an exotic East Asian botanical character of great elegance. In green floral compositions its woody-herbaceous facets bridge floral and green elements naturally. In tea-inspired compositions it adds a genuine botanical floral depth that green tea absolute alone cannot provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIts exceptional tenacity makes it valuable as a fixative alongside its character contribution — a double role that makes it unusually cost-effective at working concentrations. Use at moderate concentrations and allow time on the strip to appreciate its full development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlending Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with lavender, bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, orange, geranium, geranium bourbon, cedarwood, pine, poplar, violet flower, violet leaf, fir needle, jasmine, rose absolute, ylang ylang, sandalwood, and soft musks. Particularly rewarding in East Asian-inspired compositions alongside sandalwood and jasmine, where its camellia floral character adds an authentic botanical dimension of unusual refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eCamellia oleifera\u003c\/em\u003e Abel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Camellia Flower \/ Tea Oil Camellia \/ Oil-Seed Camellia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Theaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI:\u003c\/strong\u003e Camellia Oleifera Flower Absolute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sri Lanka\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Organic \/ Bio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Part:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtraction Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solvent extraction (absolute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle note — very tenacious\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yellow liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdour Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral \/ Woody \/ Sweet \/ Herbaceous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — 100% pure natural absolute, certified organic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Distinct from green tea, white tea, and camellia seed oil — this is the pure flower absolute of Camellia oleifera\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePackaging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1ml sample supplied in a 5ml clear flint glass bottle. 5ml, 10ml and 30ml supplied in amber glass bottles — all with inbuilt droppers and tamper evident caps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor external use only.
