Known as the Chinese Perfume Plant or Chinese Rice Flower, its blossoms are so small and so precious that obtaining any meaningful aromatic material from them is genuinely difficult — making this CO₂ extract a rare and distinctive addition to the natural perfumer's palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGentle CO₂ extraction captures the delicate flower's aromatic character with remarkable fidelity to the living blossom — something more forceful extraction methods often fail to preserve. The result is a light yellow, concentrated extract offering an unusually sophisticated floral profile, sweet and distinctive without ever becoming heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eScent Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is rich yet ethereal — a floral sweetness with juicy nuances reminiscent of ripe peach and pear. As it develops, refined green tea notes emerge gradually, joined by delicate impressions of jasmine, ylang ylang, and osmanthus, alongside soft hay and fresh green facets. The overall impression is exotic and sophisticated — a floral character genuinely distinct from Western white florals, with a tea-time elegance that speaks of its traditional use scenting fine Chinese teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfumery Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChinese Rice Flower CO₂ Extract brings luminosity, elegance, and an unusual East Asian botanical character to floral compositions. It softens woody and resinous accords, enriches tea-inspired perfumes with real botanical authenticity, and adds a delicate fruity dimension to white florals, citrus notes, and amber bases. Its refined character makes it particularly well suited to sophisticated unisex fragrances and to compositions seeking something genuinely different from the more familiar floral palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBlending Suggestions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with green tea absolute, white tea absolute, jasmine, ylang ylang, osmanthus, bergamot, orange blossom, sandalwood, cedarwood, vetiver, and soft musks.\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\u003eAglaia odorata\u003c\/em\u003e Lour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aglaia \/ Chinese Rice Flower \/ Chinese Perfume Plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meliaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eINCI Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aglaia Odorata Flower Oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\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 Supercritical CO₂ extraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light yellow liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOdour Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruity \/ Floral \/ Green Tea \/ Sweet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — 100% pure natural CO₂ extract\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, 15ml 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.
