White Narcissus Flowers Wax | Narcissus Poeticus

White Narcissus Flowers Wax is a rare and sophisticated aromatic botanical wax derived from the flowers of Narcissus poeticus, a highly prized white floral species known for its complex and unmistakable fragrance.

Its aroma is rich, elegant and deeply floral, combining fresh green facets with honeyed sweetness, soft earthy undertones, delicate hay-like nuances and a slightly narcotic floral character. Compared with brighter white florals, Narcissus feels more textured, mysterious and natural, with an unusual balance between freshness, sweetness and earthy depth.

This makes White Narcissus Flowers Wax especially valuable for solid perfumes, perfume balms, botanical fragrance bases and luxury anhydrous formulations where both aroma and wax structure are desired.

Formulation & Usage

• Incorporation: Blend into a compatible oil phase using gentle, controlled heat according to the supplier’s recommended processing conditions.
• Heating: Use only the heat and time needed for uniform incorporation; avoid prolonged heating.
• Compatibility: Evaluate with carrier oils, cosmetic butters, and other waxes. Do not assume complete solubility in every oil or alcohol-based system.
• Texture: Check the finished formula after cooling and again during stability testing. Firmness and glide may change as the wax structure develops.
• Emulsions: Immortelle Wax should not be treated as a substitute for an emulsifier.
• Use level: Select the concentration using supplier guidance and formulation trials. A universal recommended percentage cannot be established without the material’s technical specifications.
• Preservation: Formulations containing water require an appropriate preservation system and microbiological evaluation.

Suggested Applications

• Facial Balms: Explore as part of an oil-and-butter base to adjust richness and texture. Evaluate aroma intensity, spreadability, and skin feel before selecting the final concentration.
• Body Balms and Butters: Incorporate into anhydrous formulas for an additional botanical element. Combine with suitable structural waxes when greater firmness or heat resistance is required.
• Hand and Cuticle Balms: Blend with carrier oils and butters to develop a portable balm with comfortable glide. Assess the cooled product for graininess, hardness, and oil separation.
• Solid Perfumes: Use as a botanical component within the perfume base. Evaluate its own aroma alongside the fragrance blend and use additional waxes as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
• Beard Balms: Combine with conditioning oils and butters to develop a grooming balm. Test distribution through facial hair, residue, and fragrance intensity.
• Hair Pomades and Styling Balms: Explore as a supporting wax component. Adjust the overall wax system to achieve the required hold, flexibility, and washability.
• Creams and Lotions: Consider incorporation into the heated oil phase if supported by the supplier’s processing instructions. Use an appropriate emulsifier and verify emulsion stability.

Safety & Handling

• For external use only; do not ingest.
• Patch test the finished formulation.
• Avoid direct flame and unnecessary heat.
• Store tightly closed and protected from heat, light and air.
