I am currently in Kenya and found some beautiful smelling frangipani trees.
I want to make an enfluerage from the petals and wondered if any perfumers here had experiance with this.
It will be my first experiment with enfleurage, i have been reading up on the different methods and i am not sure if hot enfleurage or cold enfleurage will work best with frangipani.
I think as the petals are so fragrant, possibly a cold process may work best.
I am also debating what base to use for the enfleurage, animal fats or coconut oil, jojoba, or a mix of these.
There are also jacaranda trees here, but the scent from each flower is much less fragrant than the frangipani, but still very beautiful, this may require a hot process, but again i really am just experimenting here so some tips would be beneficial from those who have done enfleurage before.
Any advice is appreciated.
