Historical & Aromatic Inspiration
“Champaca is native to the Philippines and Indonesia. In traditional customs, women wear the flowers in the hair, or behind the ears, where they open and release their scent. Champaca flowers are also used in garlands and for floating in water to scent rooms. The absolute is a light yellow-reddish oil with an intense, floral scent that is used to enhance jasmine accords.”
~ Jennifer Peace Rhind, Essential Oils: A Handbook for Aromatherapy Practice
Red Champa Absolute is a timeless fragrance, a floral aphrodisiac, and a sacred aromatic ally for self-care, perfumery, and meditation rituals.
