Yellow Magnolia Absolute — An Opulent, Exotic Floral Rarity

Champaca has long held a revered place across Indian and South East Asian perfumery tradition, prized for its intoxicating, richly opulent floral character. This absolute, solvent extracted from Bulgarian-grown Michelia champaca flowers, captures that same celebrated bouquet — a sophisticated, exotic floral of real depth and complexity. It is supplied diluted at 30% in natural TEC (triethyl citrate), which makes this rare material more accessible and easier to work with.

Scent Profile

Rich, opulent, and deeply floral, with warm exotic spice undertones and delicate fruity, tea-like accents. Underlying facets of creamy warmth give the absolute a genuinely luxurious character, with remarkable depth that unfolds gradually rather than announcing itself all at once. Excellent tenacity, performing beautifully in both heart and base note positions.

Perfumery Applications

An essential material for high-end perfume creation, particularly in oriental, chypre, and floral compositions where genuine exotic depth is required. Its complexity and emotional resonance make it equally valuable in aromatherapy blends focused on mood enhancement and sensory indulgence. Use sparingly — a small amount creates significant aromatic impact.

Blending Suggestions

Pairs beautifully with sandalwood, jasmine, rose absolute, vetiver, citrus notes, ylang ylang, and soft musks.
