Vietnamese Blue Lotus CO₂ Wax — Pure, Solid, Uncompromised

The blue lotus — Nymphaea caerulea, revered across ancient Egyptian, Indian, and Buddhist tradition as a symbol of rebirth, purity, and spiritual awakening — is already represented in our range as a solvent-extracted absolute. This CO₂ wax offers a genuinely distinct second expression of the same sacred flower, grown in Vietnam and extracted to capture its full lipid and aromatic complexity in a way the absolute alone does not fully achieve. A genuinely rare material — the sheer volume of flowers required to produce even a small quantity of wax makes this one of the most labour-intensive materials in our entire range.

Supplied here in its pure, undiluted, solid wax form — exactly as extracted, with no carrier of any kind added. This is the genuine article for perfumers who prefer to prepare their own dilutions, or who want to work directly with the material in its most concentrated and authentic state.

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. Genuinely easy to incorporate into a composition — only a small amount is needed to provide real fragrance impact, true to the concentrated nature of this rare material.

Perfumery Applications

Well suited to delicate floral compositions, meditative and spa-inspired fragrances, and gentle skin-scent perfumery where genuine blue lotus character is wanted without heaviness. A little goes a long way. Used alongside our Sri Lankan Blue Lotus Absolute, it allows perfumers to build a genuinely layered lotus accord across two distinct extraction methods.

Usage Note

This wax is solid at room temperature. To prepare for use, gently warm in a water bath at around 90°C to melt it into a liquid, then dilute with your solvent of choice according to your own formulation preferences.

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.
