The Climbing Vine That Perfumes the Evening

From cottage hedgerows to the perfumer's organ.

- Lonicera caprifolium has been cultivated across Europe for centuries, prized for blooms that release their strongest fragrance after sundown.

- Because the delicate flowers yield almost no oil through distillation, honeysuckle is captured through gentle solvent extraction to preserve its true scent.

- In folk tradition, honeysuckle vines were planted near doorways as a symbol of devotion and sweet homecomings.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • Use at 0.5–1% maximum in carrier oil for skin applications; a little goes a very long way.

  • Patch test

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

  • Children

Not recommended for children under 6; use only diluted and well-ventilated for older children.

  • Pregnancy

Avoid during the first trimester; consult a qualified aromatherapist before use during pregnancy or nursing.

  • Pets

Keep away from cats, dogs and birds; diffuse only in well-ventilated rooms they can leave freely.

  • Photosensitivity

Not typically associated with photosensitivity.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under the guidance of a qualified medical professional.

  • Storage

Store tightly capped in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and heat; absolutes thicken when cold — warm gently in the hands before use.
