...then if you put a tiny drop onto the wrist it changes again, a sugar sweet musk entertains you, a cleansing floral note intertwines with the musky sweetness, swirls around and presents itself to you for pure indulgence.This is a masterpiece absolute that I genuinely love very much.

Origin: India

Botanical Name: Nelumbo Nucifera

I appreciate this is ultimately an oil for the keen perfumer and the very wealthy as it is expensive but this an absolute we all have to try and unlike my UK competitors we specialise in absolute oils and never take any shortcuts, at Hermitage every absolute oil is 100% pure. Diluted in Jojoba this would make the most magnificent massage oil for either man or woman. When I smell this I think of Sandalwood Mysore as the perfect oil to blend with. Others I would personally consider blending with would be Champaca and Himalayan Cedarwood.
