Tuberose Attar

Description

Tuberose’s Hindi name, Rajnigandha means “night-fragrant” as it is among the rare flowers that open at night.

Energetic Profile: This oil invites us into a powerful sensuality in our bodies and was considered dangerously seductive in former times. At the same time, it is one of the most powerful openers of the crown chakra. It rises straight up to the sky and connects us with the divine in ourselves. A bridge between heaven and earth, it births something new. The scent is otherworldly, full of hidden layers that reveal themselves only as we are ready to receive. Although it has this otherworldliness to it, it is also extremely embodying and sensual. It is a great ally for women wanting to connect with their sexuality, feel desirable and desiring. 

Smell: woody, intense, exotic, floral, waxy, creamy, notes reminiscent of jasmine

Perfumery note: Base to middle 

Main Chemical Constituents: Methyl benzoate, methyl anthranilate, benzyl alcohol, and nerolidol.

Adulteration and quality: While it is accepted that the yield of essential oil of Tuberose is too low (1), there are no reports in the literature of adulteration of tuberose attar. We trust our distiller in India doesn’t adulterate.
