Blue Lotus is known to promote a meditative state of mind and also to be an aphrodisiac. 

The absolute is extracted from the true blue Egyptian Lily, Nymphaea cerulea. The fragrance of an authentic absolute is quite faint and will always reflect the many different unsaturated hydrocarbons present in the extract. 

Two of the main constituents of this absolute are unsaturated hydrocarbons. One is 6Z, 9E Heptadecadiene and the other is 8 Heptadecene. While the first double unsaturated component is apparently not commercially available, the latter, 8 Heptadecene is. This is a rare example showing how sometimes authenticity can be supported by analysis--no one would buy this component to adulerate or reconstruct an absolute. The natural product (8 Heptadecene), though quite expensive calculated as a fraction of the whole absolute, is less expensive than the artificial copy from the laboratory. 

We recommend comparing and contrasting the fragrance of the Blue Lotus Absolute and the Blue Lotus Wax as a unique educational fragrance exploration.

We also recommend it as a beautiful scent for our Pendant and Sandalwood Necklace.
