Why CO₂ matters

Lotus blossoms are too delicate for steam distillation. CO₂ extraction allows the aroma to be captured at a low temperature, preserving the flower’s subtle floral-water character with greater fidelity.

The lotus flower, Nelumbo nucifera, has long been admired across Asia as a symbol of purity, serenity, renewal, and spiritual awakening. Rising clean and beautiful above still water, it became a powerful image in art, philosophy, and sacred tradition.

In Buddhist and Hindu imagery, the lotus often represents enlightenment and the unfolding of higher awareness. Its form appears in temple art, poetry, and ceremonial design, where it is associated with stillness, balance, and inner clarity.

Lotus has also been cherished in traditional gardens and botanical culture for its graceful structure, gentle fragrance, and calm presence. Today it remains one of perfumery’s most evocative floral materials, appreciated for both its beauty and its symbolism.
