Making Perfume from Violets: Enfleurage | Fresh P
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 03. 2014
- An enfleurage is one of the ways you can turn flowers, in this case violets, into essential oil or perfume. It's a multi day process where fresh flowers are pressed into a thin layer of oil repeatedly until the oil is saturated with the floral essence. To extract the essential oil the oil is washed with alcohol to extract the essential oil from the remaining fat. the fat can then be used to make soap, eye makeup remover or body butter. Once the alcohol has evaporated you're left with the essential oil.

After watching (Day dreamer drama) I'm here😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘I searched how to make perfume like Sanem 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❣❣❣❣❣
me too 😂😂 did you find an easy way?😂😂😂
Me too
Me too😂😂
Me too
Oh my goodness!!! Same here😂😂!!
I was just curious about how to make a perfume, but this is the most relaxing and wholesome thing I have seen in my whole life. You and your family are so cute together, have my best wishes! ❤️
Thank you Love. ✨
You just created a lifelong memory with your children that is very powerful. They will someday look back and the memory will be soothing to their soul and health.
just wanted to say that I really enjoyed watching your interaction with these children! so present, calm and respectful... it was inspiring 🌹🌸🌺
+Victoria Butanu thank you Love. These aren't BFs little ones, they're pretty special.
You are a beautiful person! You remind me of my girls when they were young and experimenting with life. When you brought in those little girls, you were just another one of them. What a beautiful spirit. You should have had them standing on the counter with their shoes and sock off squishing violets like grapes for wine. If this work, you could sell it as the perfume of little angels. Kids remember people like you and add part of you to their lives. What a great influence you are.
Jim, you certainly know how to touch someone's soul. Thank you for writing your impression so beautifully. I love those little kids so much, their Mom is a very special woman, a kindred sister of mine. They are loved as if they were my own. How can you share with them in any other way? Thank you for warming my heart.
One of my dreams is to own a farm like this one

I just love flower's ,just the coler and fresh scent is enough to make a person happy . Thank you for sharing :)
You're so welcome. I love the fragrance, it's my absolute favorite.

You're joy is contagious and your energy just feels so lovely. :)
If you ever find that you need information on things like extraction, distillation etc. consult an organic chemist.. .Now this isn't a chemist that's totally hip and green (although I suppose he or she could be ) but is one that works in the field of synthesis, generally, utilizing carbon and hydrogen based molecules and who also have the techniques that would be beneficial to extraction of violet fragrance. Knowing something about the molecule itself can be very helpful... knowing whether it is miscible in a polar or non polar solvent, if it is water soluble etc. can help you tweak your process and choose chemicals that will make your extraction MUCH more efficient, yielding much higher volumes of essential oil from your biomass. Some others that could help could also be botanists in a biology department at a university... A lot of professors will entertain emails or even phone calls from folks who are not students and are more than happy to help you out, provided they're not in a hurry to get to their next class, holding office hours or trying to eat lunch. haha. I hope that'll help you out... I will see if I can find some information on the actual essential oil and I may return with some helpful chemistry/laboratory technique that can help you out.
+Aaron Thomas I would LOVE information. Thank you.
This is a wonderful way to extract the life essence from the flowers, from my reading and understanding of Cold Enfleurage (and I'm sure there are more than one way) extraction the process is to use glass or some sort of flat surface (not sure if it's because metals effect in any way or not, I know often in chemistry it's recommended not to use metals at times) and to spread the fats on both sides, stacking them as high as you want to go.. one on top of the other. The flowers die and give up their essence after 3-4 days and that's when you change the flowers, replacing them (and I know IT'S A LOT of flowers) 10-20 times to fully saturate your fats, once your fats are completely saturated or you're satisfied with saturation level or used all your flowers, you then gather your fats into a large sanitized mason jar w/lid and add in 2-3 times the volume of your fats - 90% Ethyl alcohol (the kind you can drink, in liquor stores it's called Everclear, or you can use perfumer's alcohol which is rather expensive and hard to find, the reason you don't want to use Isopropyl or rubbing alcohol is because it has it's own aroma). You then allow time for the alcohol to pull the oil from the fats and separate. I will be doing a Cold Enfleurage of Rose or maybe Tuberose starting in the next day or two and will make videos along the way, so if you're interested in following along you can subscribe to my channel!
Fabulous, thank you so much. I'd like to add that violets are easily crushed, which changes their aroma, so stacking some flowers might not be the best. Thank you for completing this process. I'd love to put your links below this video and get my interested subs over to your channel. Yay.
As I've been reading more it seems that different flowers give up their life/ release aroma after a different number of days according to each flower, I think that I've settled on Jasmine (if I can find some) since I think it will blend well into a fragrance I'm creating, hopefully I'll be picking some up later today.
I'm interested. Please ....show us the video 🙌🙌😇
@@bronson8062 it's called volatile and essential oils, not life essence. That's not a thing.
I found her explanation in a comment far below for not posting the second part:
'I made a terrible mistake in using a jar that had previously contained cumin. it scented the entire batch and by then violet season was over. If I am home this spring, when the violets are out, I'll recreate the scented oil and film part 2. i'm very sorry that I couldn't redo it last spring. '
+Jo Fichou thank you.
The gasket had been washed but dainty smelled of cumin
Well, this is where you need to make use of the magic of TV/Video. We can't smell it. So you could a) just finish the procedure, so that we know how to complete the process, and ignore that it has a cumin scent; b) finish the procedure, acknowledge the cumin mistake, and we can learn from your experience.
I think she forgot about the video LOL
@@Thefreshp my dear, don't worry, with violets and cumin reminiscence you still have an interesting accord commonly associated with men perfumes but not only. Pair it with some camphoraceous plants or flowers, citruses, mint, gardenia and you can have a fougere for men
I love how relaxing your farm looks. I've lived on a farm my whole life, and it makes me second guess leaving 😅
Violets are my very very favorite in the world too so I've got my fingers crossed that your experiment works! I had to resist the temptation to skip ahead to see if it worked but I'm enjoying the video as it is so I won't know until you reveal the final product!
The kids are so beautiful and thanks for teaching us about flower perfume.
Who is here after daydreamer drama 😂😂😂
WOW! Thank you for sharing this! And the children are learning too! What a GREAT Mom !!!😇😇😇 I will try this with the Cosmos that I grow.
I love it that you got the kids involved. With the lock down, this would be a great family project.
Looking forward to part two of the violet enflouragi-thingymajig-jigymajig ..oh you know what I mean! :) Regards from London ~Peace~
Every year i go out to collect violets for syrup, tea, skincareproducts and salads... now there is one more thing on my list for next year😮 thank you!
Can't wait to see how it comes out. My wife loves violets, she would enjoy this. If it works for you I imagine I will give it a try in a couple weeks when our violets come in.
I will. If it works she will adore you even more!
That's great! I stock up on brownie points for when I track snow/mud into the kitchen.
Is the second part still available. Clicking the video above isn't working.
your kids are so so so adorable!!! 🥰🥰 such a beautiful family oh my goodness
what a nice family with lovely kids and great teamwork’s May God bless them all
You are so lovely when talk about te art of making perfumes....Thabks you and my congratulations Madame for you lesson.
Loved the first part, but I can't find the second one even after clicking on the video above as instructed. Can you please post a link?
Also, I was wondering if one might warm the oil just a bit to be thinner, add the flowers, and mix them in a blender then letting it sit for 48 hrs. The blended flower then has more surface area with which to transfer the scent into the oil. Then strain out the flower bits in slightly warmed oil. Would this work? Thanks for letting me know!
Part II won't be up for another week or so. The flowers are still doing their thing.
Was this ever posted (part 2?)
+Ashley Lebedev nope
Kool Kat thanks! I was just searching for it. That makes me so sad... I'll have to do it myself! 😉
+Kimber Rose np i was kinda upset that she never did it good luck on making it :)
😞
Your Voice is soooo Chill, it's very relaxing to watch this video. I will try this!!! Thanks!
alma eufracio Thank you.
I love the mood of this video!
Hi i just wanted to tell you that you look like a really kind person and i support you
It's so nice to have the little help, makes everything all cozy...
this was very relaxing to watch :>
What a lovely video and a lovely family too.
Looking forward to seeing your experiment again
when the flowers are ready. x
Thank you love for your kindness. I bungled the experiment AGAIN this year. Ugh. I sat the flowers on a table and forgot them and they molded. That was at the end of violet season. Bummer. Maybe I'll try and recreate it with lindon flowers this coming month.
linden would be awesome. where do you find linden blossoms?
That sounds great. Looking forward to that. xx
OMG I love the scent of violets!
There doesn't seem to be a link to the second half of this. Help!! How do I finish making the violet enfleurage?
Could you melt the oil and crush up the flowers, put them in a jar together and have a hydrating oil/perfume with pedals in it? Or would that go bad pretty quickly?
Yess this is miracle. This is scince chemıstry my love,, ♥️👍than u. I like your video. Perfums naturel ı made 5 years a go some custemers but really love ıt and product flowers.
I'm going to do this with my Tuscan jasmine. It smells sooo good. Also, sweet peas, roses, linden, Lily of the valley, gardenia (cape jasmine) and those snowdrops that smell like honey. All fragrances that are hard to find in bottled perfumes.

Did you do it? I've been wanting to do honeysuckle and ginger, I used a spray in high school but it isn't made anymore
It’s 3 am and CZcams recommended this to me. I should be sleeping lol
Kudos to you for handling very well the small species of human kind.
Oh, I enjoyed this :)) It's very calming and I've got my exams, so it's really helpful. You've got a new subscriber! :))
Thank Love. Study hard!
Where is the final distillation video? I tried clicking on the video above but it wouldn’t send me to the 2nd video!! :(
i don't seem to be able to find a part II anywhere...??
Neither can I 😢
Same here
She explained that she made a mistake by using a jar that previously contained cumin, it mess the whole scent and she couldn’t redo it because there were no more violets left so she had to wait for the next spring and she said she would do it if she was at home but it looks like she wasn’t or she forgot
She seems to have disappeared off of CZcams several years ago. I doubt if there will be ver be a part two.
@@losiento2 I found her on fb. Posted June 2nd we should all remind her about part 2😄
Oops. I see now what happened, have you a name or a link for the technique that followed? Thanks again!
Here in England, violets flower a little longer, all summer in my garden - so a bit more time.
The video at the end, the link is cold so can't get to it and when I search in your videos I can't figure out what upload it is. Can you link it here?
Wouldn't it be just easier to fill a glass jar with as much violets as possible, pour in a fragrance free or low fragrance oil like grapseed oil. Allow this to steep for a week or two, then strain through a cheese cloth into another bowl the oil, making sure to squeeze as much oil out of the violets as possible. Then fill another jar with fresh violets again and pour the first batch of violet infused oil into this. Repeat until you get desired frangrance.
If you want a thicker application, melt some beeswax and add to the infused oil blend whilst whisking to create a cream or balm. I would also add in some 100 proof vodka to preserve and prolong the violet smell.
+AussieWitchCerberus Bindweed bruising the Violets changes the fragrance, but allowing them to drain without bruising might work.
@@Thefreshp could you freeze first to prevent bruising reaction? Then oil extract and heavy squeeze?
Do not forget to candy some violets for on top of cake/cupcake frosting, or homemade vanilla bean ice cream.
Aww see, now why did you have to mention home made ice cream? Now it's going to be on my mind until I go ahead and make some. Nothing quite like vanilla bean ice cream! :)
Oh and I have a really, REALLY good vanilla ice cream recipe.
Ok, well that doesn't help my new craving at all LOL. I would love to see a video on your recipe.
I made a cinnamon ice cream with vanilla bean about a year and a half ago that I loved. Knowing how you like your cinnamon, I'm betting you would enjoy it too. I ate it all before I got a chance to try it on apple pie, but I bet it would have been an amazing addition to it.
C Keevil (big smile) is someones 30 day cleanse a no go now?
Beth DeRoos No no, but Ice cream keeps for a while.....big treat for the end of the cleanse would be a nice reward though :)
Still no second video?? It's been 6 years, I'd love to see how this turns out
Guessing that it was a bit of a fail. People don't like to share failures, or perhaps something else happened. Will we ever know?
I talk about it in the comments.
@@Thefreshp fair enough. I didn't take the time to read your replies to comments.

can you give me a link to the other half of the video? I can't find him much thank you
Hello, Can you tell me the list of materials that can be distilled with a distillation machine?
Hi there, I'm not getting a link for the second part of this video. Reeeeally want to see the rest of the process..please help!
There's a very peaceful quality to where u are i feel very relaxed watching your video!
Thank you Love 💕
I can't click on the part 2 above and I can't find it in the archives? Was it removed? :(
I'm so excited to see how the violet project turned out!
This was 2014 .....sure took along time to do part 2. Now 2019. If you distill would that be better..no solvent I.e. alcohol.
She explained that she made a mistake by using a jar that previously contained cumin, it mess the whole scent and she couldn’t redo it because there were no more violets left so she had to wait for the next spring and she said she would do it if she was at home but it looks like she wasn’t or she forgot
Beautiful spirit! Thank you for this video
Thanks Love ❤️
Love it :) Well done. Beautiful video!
xxS
I love the way uh made it....wid children nd all
Can’t find part 2 bummer! Please put a link. The one on the video is not letting me use it.
But are these cape violets? Regular violets won't do it I suppose?
exactly what I was looking for enfluarage
I like it 😊 and I'm waiting for Part ll..
I got a really pretty bottle to make perfume in and it’s so cool!
May I ask where is the video after this one? Thank you!
wouldn't it be easier if you warm up the coconut oil enough to become liquid then add the flowers?
where is the part 2?, today is 2016 two years and I can not find it.
I hate I'm just seeing this video because my question is how long does the fragrance last on your skin? My favorite scent for years was rose but I just ordered essential violet oil for a natural fragrant oil, and OOMMGG it smells like Angels I love love love the scent.
What a sweet family activity!
How did it turn out? where can I find the video for the final result?
Nothing compares to that sweet delicate smell of violets 😊
Thank you for your imformation🧡Ｉ am Kaori Tachibana from Japan🌹🌹🌹
This reminds me of making things with my mother. Nothing like quality time with loved ones, by the way I'm gonna be trying this
I cant wait to see how this works out. I love the smell of violets. I wonder if this would work for roses?
Yes, rose is an easy scent to extract.
Could someone tell me a site that sells essential oil of viola odorata flower?
Why not infuse in liquidated coconut oil..? In a jar or so?
Did you every try to recreate the enfleurage experiment with violets or anything else?
Those kids around the flowers make my stomach churn! They are crushing the scent from the new flowers. can say that because I have heathens that ruin projects.
I feel empathy for the children in your life. The kids are much more important than the flowers. It's not even a question. The flowers are for the children's learning, it's not nor ever was about the project.
Can anybody tell me what's the next step? I need that so much for my thesis
Where is part 2?????????? Please?????
Can't wait to us this recipe when we have our next Grammy Cake Camp!!!
You must, the girls will love it. It was so fun working with these little one. When do you get to see them next?
Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but doesn't seem to be, did part two ever get made? I've looked through the whole list, and can't find it, if it was never made - could you share what should have happened next please?
I have, however, found lots of other videos I will be watching - you have a lovely style on camera!
I can’t find the second video 🙁
I first learned about this process after having read (and many years later, watching the film) "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer." I have decided that my first enfleurage experiment is going to be the fantastic LINDEN TREE. I have several fragrances I want to try and capture, but if you have never smelled a linden tree, you are truly missing olfactory heaven!
BelfastBailey Ooh maybe I should plant one?
BelfastBailey You are a wonderful soul. I just looked them up. Bees love them, they grow in my zone, they have tannins so I can use the leaves to brew kombuch and the flowers make a delicious tea. Thank you. I'm going to the nursery to see if I can get one.
I bet it will.
Unfortunately, the darned linden tree that I know about in my immediately vicinity has not bloomed for the last 2 years (or I have missed it). It is aggravating, but thankfully it bloomed 3 years ago and I was able to follow my nose LITERALLY! I was walking up and down the street and walking through yards inhaling deeply, turning and backtracking when the aroma dissipated and finally a guy says, "Can I help you?" I said I was trying to locate a smell in the air. He said, "I think it's my tree." I said, "Oh, I doubt it." He laughed and said, "Come stand under it." I was about knocked out with the scent of heaven! He laughed and then realized who I was and I recognized him. We were friends from childhood...hadn't seen him in years. Sorry...long-winded, but that is my linden story. A smell from my grade school days that I could never put a name to...and at the age of 43, I found it through reconnecting with a long lost friend. It was a very good day that summer! :-)
THAT is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I cant find the Distillation part? Please can you point me to the video?
Now.. couldn’t you warm the coconut oil until it becomes liquid, then press the oil to separate from the flowers, then drop new flowers into the warm oil? It seems the warmth of the oil would draw the scent out of the flowers.
Lovely!
Have you tried ever squishing them in a rosin press ?
Awesome!
Thanks this is cool! I want to try this
Sir which grad ethail Alcohol we are use in perfume...???
》Because Many qualitys are available in ehail Alcohol.
For example.
(1)Ethail Alcohol 95% Dinatured
(2)Ethail Absolute Alcohol
So kindly i request you sir please tell me which grad Ethail Alcohol we will use in perfume.
I'm wondering if you could use the Levo 2 oil infuser to do this process? I reckon I'll try that down the road and see what happens.
Let me know!
Hi where's the follow up video? Can't find it. Thank you!
It great video with kids , so cut mashhla ❤
I did not know that. I learned something new.
What was the name of the convent in Rome? I would love to visit one day.
Love this
When is the next video coming up?? I really want to watch it before i start enfleuraging myself...
It's on my camera, I have a few videos to do before that one. Stay tuned.
You are living my childhood dream
Can't wait to see the final result! this opens an all new perspective on using flowers.
I'm excited to see what happens. If violets are a bust, I'll try rose and lavender, two flowers that are easy to extract.
not all lavender are created equal and i suspect you already know that. My grand parents lived on the french riviera and i was lucky enough as a teen to hike the hills of southern Provence where lavender grew pretty much everywhere. the smell was enivrant.
the smell in the air after a feild of onions has been harvested is best in world smell
Were is Part 2??
Healing with Reiki Sorry. I made a grave mistake and put the violet oil into a jar that had previously held cumin. We left town for a month and when I went to process the oil, the cumin had overpowered the violet. Violets are seasonal and only out for a couple weeks, at most, so I've been waiting all year to shoot part two and now we're in Mexico and I've missed violet season again. Ugh. That will teach me a lesson on shooting a video in parts.
