Plum Blossom CO₂ Wax, extracted from the exquisite flowers of Prunus mume, is a rare and precious botanical material obtained through supercritical CO₂ extraction. It captures the tender, luminous fragrance of plum blossoms — a scent both delicate and profound, where soft floral sweetness meets subtle fruit and almond notes.
Unlike solvent-extracted absolutes, CO₂ extraction preserves the plant’s complete aromatic and lipid matrix, including floral esters, waxes, phytosterols, and antioxidants. The result is a semi-solid, creamy wax that embodies both fragrance and function, ideal for natural perfumery, skincare, and aromatherapy formulations that celebrate purity and elegance.
Aromatic Profile
The scent of Plum Blossom CO₂ Wax is floral, fruity, and lightly powdery, with nuanced notes of honey, almond, apricot, and soft wood. It opens with fresh, bright top notes of green fruit and white petals, moves into a lush floral heart reminiscent of cherry blossom and jasmine, and settles into a sweet, musky, and gently balsamic base.
This aroma is ethereal yet grounded — a symbol of spring awakening, tender optimism, and inner serenity. It evokes the atmosphere of blooming orchards after rain, where the air is perfumed with sweetness and life.
In perfumery, Plum Blossom CO₂ Wax acts as a heart-to-base note, blending harmoniously with:
Florals: jasmine, neroli, rose, magnolia.
Fruits: apricot, peach, blackcurrant.
Woods and resins: sandalwood, benzoin, cedarwood, frankincense.
Vanilla and amber accords for soft, oriental compositions.
It adds roundness, sensuality, and natural depth to perfumes, solid balms, and candles, bringing warmth and sophistication to floral and gourmand blends alike.
