Extraction Method: Supercritical CO₂ Extraction
Characteristics
- Aroma Profile: Intensely floral, creamy, and exotic with honeyed, fruity, and soft balsamic undertones.
- Appearance: Viscous, pale yellow to amber extract.
- Purity Advantage: Unlike solvent-extracted absolutes, CO₂ captures the delicate top floral notes without leaving solvent residues, giving a truer, fresher scent.
Key Compounds
- Benzyl salicylate
- Linalool
- Geraniol
- Farnesol
- Phytol & minor indolic notes (responsible for the exotic “tropical floral” character)

- High Perfumery: Signature heart note in luxury oriental, tropical, and gourmand blends.
- Aromatherapy: Deeply relaxing, harmonizing, often used in meditation blends.
- Cosmetics & Skincare: Premium fragrance component in creams, balms, and exotic spa products.
Why CO₂?
- Avoids hexane residues found in absolutes.
- Preserves fragile floral esters that degrade in steam distillation.
- Produces a velvety, full-bodied extract closer to the natural bloom.
Frangipani CO₂ Extract is considered a jewel in natural perfumery — rare, opulent, and emotionally evocative, ideal for CESI’s premium line.
