Sunlit Marigold CO₂ Extract — The Golden Flower, Captured Whole
Calendula, the pot marigold, has been grown in cottage gardens for centuries, its bright golden-orange flower heads opening with the morning sun. This organic extract captures the flowers of Calendula officinalis by CO₂ extraction — a gentle, solvent-free method that preserves the plant's natural character.
The result is a golden botanical extract, offered here for natural perfumers and formulators who enjoy working with warm, sunlit, herbal materials and want a quietly characterful flower extract for oil-based and anhydrous creations.
Scent Profile
Soft and herbaceous, with the gentle, slightly hay-like warmth typical of calendula flowers. Evaluate it on a blotter and at low dilution to appreciate its full character.
Perfumery Applications
Well suited to natural perfume oils, solid perfumes, balms and other anhydrous formulations, where it adds a golden colour and a soft, herbal-floral nuance. It can also be used in facial oils, body oils and natural skincare blends.
Blending Suggestions
Pairs well with lavender, chamomile, clary sage, neroli, sandalwood, cedarwood, tonka, vanilla and frankincense.
