Boronia Absolute Oil

Aside from our artisan distilled Blue Lotus, Boronia was one of the most elusive oils I have ever searched for and one I had to wait a long time have in our apothecary. In the name of good connections and a touch of fate, I found an artisan distiller; a kindred spirit in this aromatic world who understood what we are trying to do in the space we’ve carved out with the flowers.

Boronia Absolute is extracted from the leaves and flowers of a plant that grows in Australia and is considered the classic essential oil of that beautiful country. It is a very heady oil, and it almost took my breath away because of its floral robustness, something I didn’t quite expect. The scent is reminiscent of black currents, dark raspberries and freesia and even a little apricot. It brings to mind the Broom (genet) blossoms that I would press as a kid in Canada to make my perfume. Boronia is heavy and sweet and one can’t but know a special oil in their presence. We feel very grateful have this gorgeous rare oil in our apothecary for our natural perfume family and after five years of having it, I sense they feel the same.
