- In this quick video I ramble about how to make a pomade! Which means to catch scent in fat! This method i used mainly for blooms such as Lilacs who's scents cant be extracted with the simple tincturing method!
Also haha that little dreadlock sticking off the the side of my head like a deer antler was not known about until after i made the video LOL. Maybe i was channeling the bucks energy from the tallow ;)
I can tell you're magic because the Saran Wrap obeys you.

🤣
Can you use shortening? Maybe😬😶🙂????
😂😅😂
You are like a fairy from a sweet place where evil is dissolved by kindness and humility.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Circumstance lead us onto this path, thanks for sprinkling it with fairy dust!
This is so cool. I never had a clue that this could be done. Now I'll be able to wear fragrance again. I stopped using perfumes because they are so full toxic chemicals. Thank you April, your such a sweet lady to freely give of your vast knowledge. I'm so glad I found your channel
Ah how sweet "the end game is for us not to need you"... you are so needed on this Mama Earth. Thank you.
I had to laugh at the part at the bottom of your description talking about the dreadlock. At first I found it distracting, but because I am a hair twister I can not say a thing. When I am reading or trying to figure something out I grab that hair and twist. I sense something very sweet and genuine about you. Thanks for a great video and the message that we can make our own Medicines. ✌🏻❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you. You’re my favorite Find this week. What a sweetheart, and a true blessing to all of us. Much gratitude and appreciation. So happy to know this recipe. I can’t wait to follow you again and again and again.
😊💕🌿
Im always greatful for your time and knowledge. You rock April Graham ❤️
You're better than a professional ! You make me laugh!!! Great video!! Love it!!
I never end up just watching one video hahah...it always becomes a binge session. Thanks for always sharing so much valuable info :)
Just from the get go you can tell she knows what shes talking about. Already love her in the few few minutes.
I miss lilacs. I grew up in Iowa and our backyard was lined with them. When I smell lilacs I relax and remember the good things growing up there.
❤
I appreciate the fact that you are genuine. You being you is refreshing!! Thank you.
lol... yep, that dred sticking out there steals the show!!
I love that your hubby helps with the filming and flower picking
Thanks for your pain salve recipe. I got some arthritis in just one knuckle and it happens every year when it gets colder. Put some Cayenne pepper salve on it and no more pain. Thanks heaps 🙏
You are so full of wisdom!
I absolutely love your videos! Sending thankfulness your way. 💜
Thank you for sharing your life as well as nature shares with you. Your videos are a life changer!!!
You are one of the coolest people on CZcams! I frickin' love you!!
I just love the way you talk ,,you make my day,,GOD bless you 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I am years late to this video. In one of your videos you said that you would, one day, show us how to make tallow. I was on the hunt for that video and found this one. Did you ever make that tallow video? I am trying to soak up all of the knowledge that I can through your videos! You are the best, April, and you make all of this so easy! Thank you!
Check out Mary’s Nest! Her video on making tallow is great! Good luck.
Great info; thanks for sharing easy & low cost ways of making great things at home! 🤗💗🇨🇦
I loved this! Brand new to me! Thanks April! ❤
This is so easy & great because I’m allergic to strong fragrances I can’t wait to try it‼️ Thanks so much🙏🏻🙏🏻❣️
You're amazing. Thank you for this information and empowerment. Love to you.
I truly think that you are awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Much blessings to you.😊💞🍀🌱
I just learned about enfleurage last week and now I found you. Very cool.
Ohhh sounds like the sweet smelling plants are calling for you to notice them!
@@sheisofthewoods I have been deep diving on anything with violets. Violet flowers and their leaves. Peace.💜
Thank you April! I learned a lot!
I love your knowledge and sharing of it
Love watching you I Always learn something new 😊❤️
The description just made me laugh!! You are a doll and super smart. Remember God loves you 💜💙💚
Just found you! Love all of it. Going to binge more videos. Very exciting stuff
Thank you thank you i watch everything you post im addictive......
Thank you so much, helpful stuff.
Thank you so much! You are absolutely amazing!
Love these videos!!
Omg this is so awesome.
I am so happy I found you! Just subscribed. Can I use butter for this process and then bake with it or will that ruin the scent and taste?
Never used this technique, thankyou from Stockholm Sweden
anybody see that movie "perfume"? idk this just reminded me lol
That's where I know about enfleurage from.
Totally. Me too
That's what came to mind right away 😂
This was terrific!
Love your lighthearted video I just discovered your channel! Will there be water coming out of the flowers? If so, do u remove them?
Love it!! Thanks 🥰
Your amazing April 💜
You are a treasure! Thank you.
You are amazing. Thank you.
I continue to be amazed by your knowledge. Thank you for keeping the past alive! I don't drink and do not have alcohol in the house. You haven't done a rose water video. I make my own soaps and would love to capture some scent from the roses, without buying rose E.O. Or, any other good flowers to use with tallow, and would the scent transfer to a soap, if it was the main "oil" in the soap? Unfortunately, I live in a desert...where I grow roses : ) Any other scented flowers you can think of for the desert?
Thank you for sharing
I sooooo love your videos 💕
Cool!
I wonder if this would be a good method for magnolia blossoms? Would you leave the blossoms whole or break them up?
Thank you, this is an amazing idea
Since I found your channel I haven't stop watching your videos. You're soooo smart. Question, what other flowers can be used? My lilacs blooms are done for this year.
For this particular method (cold enfleurage), you can use jasmine, tuberose, lilies, alyssum, chrysanthemum, frangipani, violet, Noem Noem and jonquil. I heard that roses are also possible to use but generally isn't extracted via enfleurage because it can be extracted using another method.
this is so awesome! thanks
A couple of years late, but your pronounciation of "enfleurage" is just fine :-)
So I'm going to go get some Lipo and save it for next spring's lilacs. 👀👀👀 my lilac butt butter will be all the rage.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
HAHAHAHAHA!!
I now you probably will not see this but I love watching your videos I learn a lot from them and if you ramble I don’t know’tis. It because I must do it as well love ya Stay safe
Thanks for sharing this video. I enjoy watching you. Can I use beef bone marrow instead od tallow?
I love u lady all u teach u r special. Thank goodness for u
I thank you for the short.
Great video, thank you for sharing :)
Amazing, thank you! 🌹
Fascinating thank you
YEEeesss! Great tips! I've been wanting to do this for a while. I would really like to capture the scent of some of the spruces in the area. Do furs give their scent to the tallow well?
interesting idea... got me thinking. Spruce and pine trees in my area are started to produce new leafs(needles). I already collected some resin and needles and made balm and was going to make syrup..Now your comment inspired me to try enfleurage, also. Maybe we can try with young spruce needles and cut them on smaller pieces so to release smell and some of resin. Also young cones can be used i think, and resin. Oh, so many possibilities! :)
Your videos are effing awesome!
Thank you❤
Great video
Thank you!
I never subscribe but this time I did I just feel like shes genuine
I knew I should have found this before I tried it. I didn't melt the tallow down before I put the lilacs on. And barely enough lilacs lol. Should I go ahead and melt it down and add more lilacs? Love lilac season ❤ Thank you for being you and sharing with us!
Thank you so much
Thank you soooo much!!! Outstanding! Simple and real
I'm curious if coconut oil would work.
Thank you 💕
This is cool thanks so much will do this!! New sub here cant wait ti watch more vids!!
excellent thank you
So doing this in the spring
Thank you. We have Freesias and apple trees blossoming now and smell so nice. Would this or another method be better (alcohol or ? )? Wonder what works for the pine needle or tiny cones coming out.
I am wondering if it would work for my orange blossoms????
I would like to try this with milkweed, but i am concerned that it might be toxic. Do you think i could get it to work or would it not be worth the risk?
Omg I have got to meet you!!!!
Hi, does the tallow spoil after a while?
Xo! Thank you.
I bought some tallow to use but mine smells like a good steak. Will that smell disappear or should I get a different brand of tallow? Would coconut oil work? Or would a liquid oil work like avacado oil?
Would this technique work with honeysuckle?
Hi April, We have just had lilac season and I remembered your video about infused oils. I am drying the flowers so they can be infused in avocado oil (as you'd recommended). Here you are using fresh petals. Is that because if you dry them the scent oil goes away? The water vs. fat is a problem in doing this.
You might catch a very small amount of the scent drying them to make an infused oil but even if you don't get much of the scent it will still be fantastic for skin health 😊
Thanks 🏝🥁🌺
Can this be done with vegetable fats or oils?
Leah Nelson I just found a shop on Etsy who offers vegan versions.
She uses shae butter, jojoba, avocado oil, mango butter, etc.
So, to answer your question, yes.
You just don't want to use anything with a scent of it's own, like virgin coconut oil for example.
I think things that are solid at room temp would also be easier to work with.
@Sabrina Zarogoza Most oils have a scent of their own no matter what it is. The difference between a vegan version and the red meat version is that the vegan version is greasier like a body butter and it doesn't capture the scent as long as tarrow does nor does your skin soak it up as well. Tarrow is an odd way of making perfume because our society has grown to be so vegan but they used to make perfume with animal fats for thousands of years and it works.
I might try with unscented coconut oil 🥰
I'd like to do this with an especially amazing smelling marigold. The foliage smells just as amazing as the blooms- can I use it, too?
Sure can😊
Its taken me a whole year to get some white tailed deer tallow rendered down 5 times to remove smell, melted and re-solidified in a pan like yours and with its first batch of lilac blossoms. I collected a lot of blossoms because it was going to rain and ruin the blossoms and I wanted to reapply them. Will the scent still be there after being stored 4 or 5 days?
Yeah for sure just be sure to switch the blooms out on a regular basis. The more you do the more scent you'll catch💜
Hey April this is a super late comment but could you take that tallow and make a scented soap or something of the sorts with it?
Unfortunately the scent won't survive the saponification prosses of soap making.
I have a idea for super strick if one have a casserole dish with a lid, one could turn the lid upside down on top of it OR maybe a piece of foil (if that foil don't tank the chemicals of the scent) then wrap it tightly with the Surround wrap. Just a thought.
I never heard of doing this before. I wished I knew this when my Dad was still a live and was deer hunting in his younger years I sure would have gotten some of the fat that he made into lord. Rats. Now I don't know anyone I could get some of that found. To me deer fat smell lighter than cow fat.
Also can make scented candles from the tallow candles like the old history. I should have thought of that.
❤
How do you handle with the smell of the animal fat? Because it smells a bit and I could ruin the smell of the flowers... Is there a possibility to wash it out?
You can do the process of purifying tallow so it turns out whiter and has less smell
Can you use oils like coconut oil or mink oil?
You sure could try! Really it's about the fat, you'd just want to do a bit of research to see if either of those oils have the capacity to capture scent.
Your husband is kindly
Stag Power!!
Where do you get your deer tallow and how much do you use?
We hunt, as far as I know there's nowhere to buy it. You can use beef tallow just fine though, probably want at least a few pounds.
@She Is Of The Woods Thank you! My husband got a deer last fall but we get it processed by someone else and I don't know the first thing about rendering down to tallow tbh, learning so much! Is that a few pounds for one pan, then transfer to tins once complete? Thank you for helping us newbies become more confident, you are amazing! I look forward to checking out more of your content and store!
Hi I love your videos but I happy have a question that has nothing to do with the video you're making right now I was wondering if you do anything with lavender I have so much lavender growing that I was wondering if there was anything that I could do with it all thank you have a wonderful day
For sure! I make lavender tinctures, oxymels, & infused honeys💜
@@sheisofthewoods what is the benefits of the lavender tincture have you got video on your site anywhere that I can take a look at I have just about looked at all of your videos but I am still working on finishing up the rest of your videos I have started following you now on Instagram you are amazing and I thank God for your sweetheart take care and have a wonderful evening
WOW, delicate lilacs with red animal fatmakes a perfume... Who knew?? it sounds labor intensive... how does the tallow come, in pieces of fat or in a jar like coconut oil (sorry but I'm not THAT smart) ??
You are definitely that smart! It's simply that we've removed ourself from things like touching animal fats on a regular basis so we just have to remember😊 most high-quality Tallow simply comes in a tub or a bag and is pretty soft to work with definitely softer than coconut oil you would simply melt it down like I talked about in the video once it cools put your lilac blooms over top and press it down. This is in fact the only way to catch the smell of lilac! It's like she actually craves to be with the fat!
Hi! Does it have to be animal fats? I have some lilac blossoms that I poured fractionation coconut oil over thinking that it would capture the scent but it didn't. 😢 Wondering what I can use that oil for now. Thanks!
Yep needs to be animal fats and has to be layered over the top not submerged/switched out for fresh blooms often. You could use that oil for anything including cooking/skin care 🙂
❤ should I have dried the lilacs first before covering with oil? Its kinda fermenty 😂
Will this capture the smell of flowers the same way if u use coconut oil or avocado oil instead of an animal fat?
Unfortunately it needs to be an animal fats, you could try coconut solid oil but I'd not expect a ton of scent. For sure can't use liquid oils.
@@sheisofthewoods Thanks April! So I’m asking cuz I’m trying to capture Hyacinth flowers scent & don’t know what else would best capture her scent….. Do u think i would be able to capture her scent by an oil infusion or tincturing her?
Could I do this with coconut oil?
I'm wondering that, too.
Wondering,how do you store this for later use .
This is a good question! April, Do you have to keep it refrigerated
CZcams doesn't show me which video this is being comment on, but if it's for an herbal infusion that you're meant to drink, yes you will need to refrigerate it and use it within 3 days ☺️
@@sheisofthewoods the floral catch in animal fats is the video that made me wonder if you have to refrigerate the animal fat after finished infusing it with the flower petals sent. Thank you for responding so quickly, too.
@@sherrysears122 You can store it in the fridge, but I'd make sure it was capped really well so it doesn't absorb fridge smells.
@@sheisofthewoods thank you April. I'm excited to try this as soon ad I have blossoms
