Sacred Indian Lotus CO₂ Wax — Nelumbo nucifera | 50% in IPM

Part of our Professional Perfumers Range — curated for the discerning natural perfumer seeking exceptional depth and rarity.

Pink Lotus Floral Wax — The Sacred Flower in Its Rarest Form

The pink lotus — Nelumbo nucifera, revered across Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, and Egyptian tradition as a symbol of purity and spiritual awakening — is already represented in our range as a solvent-extracted absolute and steam-distilled essential oil. This CO₂ wax offers a third, genuinely distinct expression of the same sacred flower, grown in India and extracted to capture its full lipid and aromatic complexity in a way neither the absolute nor the essential oil fully achieves.

As the pure wax is solid at room temperature, we supply it diluted at 50% in IPM (isopropyl myristate) — a lightweight, cosmetic-grade ester derived from natural coconut and palm sources, chosen for the notably clear, workable pourability it offers compared to more viscous carriers.

Scent Profile

Serene and gently floral, with a soft, luminous character that speaks of still water and quiet devotion. A delicate sweetness underlies the floral heart, developing into a soft, comforting warmth without ever becoming heavy. This is a quiet, meditative material rather than a bold, projecting one — genuinely distinct from the spicier, more complex character of our lotus absolute, offering perfumers a lighter, more serene expression of the same sacred flower.

Perfumery Applications

Well suited to delicate floral compositions, meditative and spa-inspired fragrances, and gentle skin-scent perfumery where genuine lotus character is wanted without heaviness. Used alongside our Pink Lotus Absolute and Essential Oil, it allows perfumers to build a genuinely layered lotus accord across three distinct extraction methods — absolute, essential oil, and now wax.

Blending Suggestions

Pairs beautifully with sandalwood, rose absolute, jasmine, neroli, benzoin, vanilla, amber accords, and our other lotus materials for a layered sacred-floral accord.
