Aglaia CO₂ Select Extract is an exceptionally rare aromatic material obtained from the tiny, intensely fragrant flowers of Aglaia odorata, also known as Chinese Perfume Plant or Chinese Rice Flower. The gentle CO₂ extraction process captures the flower’s delicate aromatic character, producing a concentrated extract with a scent that remains beautifully faithful to the living blossom.
Its aroma opens with a rich yet ethereal floral sweetness, followed by juicy nuances reminiscent of ripe peach and pear. Refined green tea notes emerge gradually, accompanied by delicate impressions of jasmine, ylang-ylang, osmanthus, soft hay, and fresh greenery. The result is an exotic and sophisticated floral profile that is sweet and distinctive without becoming heavy or overly perfumed.
In natural perfumery, Aglaia CO₂ Select Extract brings luminosity, elegance, and an unusual East Asian botanical character to floral compositions. It can soften woody and resinous accords, enrich tea-inspired perfumes, and add a delicate fruity dimension to white florals, citrus notes, amber bases, and sophisticated unisex fragrances.
Its concentrated aroma also makes it a beautiful choice for fragrancing luxury creams, body oils, solid perfumes, balms, soaps, candles, and other artisanal creations when used at an appropriate dilution. Aglaia is a remarkable ingredient for perfumers and formulators seeking a rare floral material with a refined combination of fruit, flowers, and green tea.
