The Sacred Red Bloom of the Tropics

From temple offerings to perfumer's gold.

- Michelia champaka has been cultivated for centuries across India, Indonesia and Southeast Asia, where its red-orange blossoms are strung into garlands and offered at temples.

- The flowers must be hand-picked at dawn while still dewy, and it takes thousands of blooms to produce a single millilitre of absolute — making it one of the most precious florals in perfumery.

- Solvent extraction captures the deepest, most true-to-flower facets: warm honey, black tea, magnolia and a hint of leather that gives Champaka Red its unmistakable signature.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • Use at 0.5–2% dilution in a carrier oil such as jojoba or argan for skin application.

  • Patch test

Apply a small diluted amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before broader use.

  • Children

Not recommended for children under 6. For older children, consult a qualified aromatherapist.

  • Pregnancy

Avoid during pregnancy and nursing unless guided by a qualified professional.

  • Pets

Keep away from cats, dogs and birds; florals can be overwhelming for sensitive animals.

  • Photosensitivity

Not typically associated with photosensitivity.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under qualified professional guidance.

  • Storage

Store tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and heat. Solvent absolutes keep best refrigerated.
