Absolute oils are the essential
oils which are highly concentrated and have high potency. These Concentrated
absolute oils have high aromatic properties thus they are majorly preferred in
cosmetics, perfumery, and aromatherapy. During the postproduction processes
these oils are further concentrated to make their absolute.
There are approximately 95
species of Boronia (Family Rutaceae), all but one of which occurred originally
only in Australia. The majority of Boronia species are found in south-western
Australia. The Brown Boronia (Boronia megastigma) is intensely fragrant (like
Freesia and Osmanthus) and is valued in Australian floral arrangements for its
intense aroma. The fragrance of B. megastigma is not as appreciated in the rest
of Asia. Brown Boronia is produced almost exclusively in the area of Australia
depicted. Boronia megastigma Nees. (Brown boronia) flowers are the source of
the highly valued oil, boronia absolute.
Boronia Absolute is used
primarily within perfumery and fragrance applications. Due to Boronia's high
cost and reportedly frequent adulteration, Boronia Absolute isn't commonly used
within holistic aromatherapy. However, true Boronia Absolute possesses a beautiful,
intoxicating, floral aroma with a sweet and fruity.
The absolute is used primarily in
food flavoring to impart a unique richness to many fruit essences. It has
a very richly intense flowery scent, with a slight dry fruity undertone
explaining its main uses being in perfume, fragrance and aromatics.
