Making Perfume from Violets: Enfleurage | Fresh P 

After watching (Day dreamer drama) I'm here😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘I searched how to make perfume like Sanem 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❣❣❣❣❣

I was just curious about how to make a perfume, but this is the most relaxing and wholesome thing I have seen in my whole life. You and your family are so cute together, have my best wishes! ❤️

just wanted to say that I really enjoyed watching your interaction with these children! so present, calm and respectful... it was inspiring 🌹🌸🌺

One of my dreams is to own a farm like this one

You are a beautiful person! You remind me of my girls when they were young and experimenting with life. When you brought in those little girls, you were just another one of them. What a beautiful spirit. You should have had them standing on the counter with their shoes and sock off squishing violets like grapes for wine. If this work, you could sell it as the perfume of little angels. Kids remember people like you and add part of you to their lives. What a great influence you are.

If you ever find that you need information on things like extraction, distillation etc. consult an organic chemist.. .Now this isn't a chemist that's totally hip and green (although I suppose he or she could be ) but is one that works in the field of synthesis, generally, utilizing carbon and hydrogen based molecules and who also have the techniques that would be beneficial to extraction of violet fragrance. Knowing something about the molecule itself can be very helpful... knowing whether it is miscible in a polar or non polar solvent, if it is water soluble etc. can help you tweak your process and choose chemicals that will make your extraction MUCH more efficient, yielding much higher volumes of essential oil from your biomass. Some others that could help could also be botanists in a biology department at a university... A lot of professors will entertain emails or even phone calls from folks who are not students and are more than happy to help you out, provided they're not in a hurry to get to their next class, holding office hours or trying to eat lunch. haha. I hope that'll help you out... I will see if I can find some information on the actual essential oil and I may return with some helpful chemistry/laboratory technique that can help you out.

You just created a lifelong memory with your children that is very powerful. They will someday look back and the memory will be soothing to their soul and health.

I just love flower's ,just the coler and fresh scent is enough to make a person happy . Thank you for sharing :)

This is a wonderful way to extract the life essence from the flowers, from my reading and understanding of Cold Enfleurage (and I'm sure there are more than one way) extraction the process is to use glass or some sort of flat surface (not sure if it's because metals effect in any way or not, I know often in chemistry it's recommended not to use metals at times) and to spread the fats on both sides, stacking them as high as you want to go.. one on top of the other. The flowers die and give up their essence after 3-4 days and that's when you change the flowers, replacing them (and I know IT'S A LOT of flowers) 10-20 times to fully saturate your fats, once your fats are completely saturated or you're satisfied with saturation level or used all your flowers, you then gather your fats into a large sanitized mason jar w/lid and add in 2-3 times the volume of your fats - 90% Ethyl alcohol (the kind you can drink, in liquor stores it's called Everclear, or you can use perfumer's alcohol which is rather expensive and hard to find, the reason you don't want to use Isopropyl or rubbing alcohol is because it has it's own aroma). You then allow time for the alcohol to pull the oil from the fats and separate. I will be doing a Cold Enfleurage of Rose or maybe Tuberose starting in the next day or two and will make videos along the way, so if you're interested in following along you can subscribe to my channel!

2 minutes in and I'm subscribing. You're joy is contagious and your energy just feels so lovely. :)

Part II won't be up for another week or so. The flowers are still doing their thing.

I love how relaxing your farm looks. I've lived on a farm my whole life, and it makes me second guess leaving 😅

I found her explanation in a comment far below for not posting the second part: 'I made a terrible mistake in using a jar that had previously contained cumin. it scented the entire batch and by then violet season was over. If I am home this spring, when the violets are out, I'll recreate the scented oil and film part 2. i'm very sorry that I couldn't redo it last spring. '

The kids are so beautiful and thanks for teaching us about flower perfume.

Violets are my very very favorite in the world too so I've got my fingers crossed that your experiment works! I had to resist the temptation to skip ahead to see if it worked but I'm enjoying the video as it is so I won't know until you reveal the final product!

I love it that you got the kids involved. With the lock down, this would be a great family project.

Every year i go out to collect violets for syrup, tea, skincareproducts and salads... now there is one more thing on my list for next year😮 thank you!

WOW! Thank you for sharing this! And the children are learning too! What a GREAT Mom !!!😇😇😇 I will try this with the Cosmos that I grow.

Looking forward to part two of the violet enflouragi-thingymajig-jigymajig ..oh you know what I mean! :) Regards from London ~Peace~

Can't wait to see how it comes out. My wife loves violets, she would enjoy this. If it works for you I imagine I will give it a try in a couple weeks when our violets come in.

what a nice family with lovely kids and great teamwork’s May God bless them all

You are so lovely when talk about te art of making perfumes....Thabks you and my congratulations Madame for you lesson.

What a lovely video and a lovely family too. Looking forward to seeing your experiment again when the flowers are ready. x

It's so nice to have the little help, makes everything all cozy...

your kids are so so so adorable!!! 🥰🥰 such a beautiful family oh my goodness

I love the mood of this video!

Your Voice is soooo Chill, it's very relaxing to watch this video. I will try this!!! Thanks!

OMG I love the scent of violets!

I'm going to do this with my Tuscan jasmine. It smells sooo good. Also, sweet peas, roses, linden, Lily of the valley, gardenia (cape jasmine) and those snowdrops that smell like honey. All fragrances that are hard to find in bottled perfumes.

this was very relaxing to watch :>

Beautiful spirit! Thank you for this video

Wouldn't it be just easier to fill a glass jar with as much violets as possible, pour in a fragrance free or low fragrance oil like grapseed oil. Allow this to steep for a week or two, then strain through a cheese cloth into another bowl the oil, making sure to squeeze as much oil out of the violets as possible. Then fill another jar with fresh violets again and pour the first batch of violet infused oil into this. Repeat until you get desired frangrance. If you want a thicker application, melt some beeswax and add to the infused oil blend whilst whisking to create a cream or balm. I would also add in some 100 proof vodka to preserve and prolong the violet smell.

Do not forget to candy some violets for on top of cake/cupcake frosting, or homemade vanilla bean ice cream.

There's a very peaceful quality to where u are i feel very relaxed watching your video!

What a sweet family activity!

Still no second video?? It's been 6 years, I'd love to see how this turns out

Oh, I enjoyed this :)) It's very calming and I've got my exams, so it's really helpful. You've got a new subscriber! :))

At the Fragonard perfume factory in Grasse, France the flowers were placed one by one opened and face down on the oil. Much less flowers were used and they were changed everyday for many days. I think a lot of waste occurred by harvesting all at once and smashing them all in the pan without direct contact with the oil. Hope you do try again. Your Violet patch is lovely.

It’s 3 am and RU-vid recommended this to me. I should be sleeping lol

exactly what I was looking for enfluarage

I first learned about this process after having read (and many years later, watching the film) "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer." I have decided that my first enfleurage experiment is going to be the fantastic LINDEN TREE. I have several fragrances I want to try and capture, but if you have never smelled a linden tree, you are truly missing olfactory heaven!

Yess this is miracle. This is scince chemıstry my love,, ♥️👍than u. I like your video. Perfums naturel ı made 5 years a go some custemers but really love ıt and product flowers.

Hi i just wanted to tell you that you look like a really kind person and i support you

Loved the first part, but I can't find the second one even after clicking on the video above as instructed. Can you please post a link? Also, I was wondering if one might warm the oil just a bit to be thinner, add the flowers, and mix them in a blender then letting it sit for 48 hrs. The blended flower then has more surface area with which to transfer the scent into the oil. Then strain out the flower bits in slightly warmed oil. Would this work? Thanks for letting me know!

Kudos to you for handling very well the small species of human kind.

the smell in the air after a feild of onions has been harvested is best in world smell

Can't wait to see the final result! this opens an all new perspective on using flowers.

I got a really pretty bottle to make perfume in and it’s so cool!

Love it :) Well done. Beautiful video! xxS

Nothing compares to that sweet delicate smell of violets 😊

Is the second part still available. Clicking the video above isn't working.

I cant wait to see how this works out. I love the smell of violets. I wonder if this would work for roses?

I like it 😊 and I'm waiting for Part ll..

This reminds me of making things with my mother. Nothing like quality time with loved ones, by the way I'm gonna be trying this

I hate I'm just seeing this video because my question is how long does the fragrance last on your skin? My favorite scent for years was rose but I just ordered essential violet oil for a natural fragrant oil, and OOMMGG it smells like Angels I love love love the scent.

Can't wait to us this recipe when we have our next Grammy Cake Camp!!!

I love the way uh made it....wid children nd all

Aaron A I live in N. Cal. (SF Bay Area) and the violets do quite well in a spot without afternoon sun.

Oops. I see now what happened, have you a name or a link for the technique that followed? Thanks again! Here in England, violets flower a little longer, all summer in my garden - so a bit more time.

Very cool! I'm going to soak flowers in Everclear to extract their essence.....if and when the snow melts.

This was 2014 .....sure took along time to do part 2. Now 2019. If you distill would that be better..no solvent I.e. alcohol.

Thanks this is cool! I want to try this

Those kids around the flowers make my stomach churn! They are crushing the scent from the new flowers. can say that because I have heathens that ruin projects.

Who is here after daydreamer drama 😂😂😂

When is the next video coming up?? I really want to watch it before i start enfleuraging myself...

I rarely watch videos to the end, but with this video, I just leaned back and watched and was totally relaxed and felt good, I wear my Violet Absolute oil on my skin and it feels amazing. I am a fan of Rudolf Steiner, too. I went to the Waldorf School in Germany.

where is the second part?? I really need to make a perfume. nd I loved ur idea of making it with violets

This is a great video!

Thank you for your imformation🧡Ｉ am Kaori Tachibana from Japan🌹🌹🌹

It great video with kids , so cut mashhla ❤

Hello from New Zealand, our violets grow well but don't flower well..Any suggestions as to why or what they need. Love this video ..thank you

I can't click on the part 2 above and I can't find it in the archives? Was it removed? :( I'm so excited to see how the violet project turned out!

I did not know that. I learned something new.

Sorry if this has been asked a million times, but doesn't seem to be, did part two ever get made? I've looked through the whole list, and can't find it, if it was never made - could you share what should have happened next please? I have, however, found lots of other videos I will be watching - you have a lovely style on camera!

Lovely!

Looks like a lot of fun when you have good help!

i don't seem to be able to find a part II anywhere...??

Many hands make light work, I think.. I bet it smells good. Oh and could you have used a rolling pin to force them into the oil.. or maybe ferment some..

Beautiful video and very easy to understand

Your picking flowers and we still have a foot of snow on the ground and it was -4 this morning here in wi. I didn't realize Washington or Oregon " can't remember what state you live in" was that different than Wisconsin in how fast the seasons change.

This is pretty cool. I don't see me making myself any perfume, that might be a bit strange lol, but it is a really neat process to see and I'm really enjoying the video. Those kids looked like they had an amazing time too. The one couldn't stop licking her fingers lol. Actually, the kids aren't the only ones that looked like they had a lot of fun

You look so peaceful with i assume your kids/grandkids. What sucks tho is i can't find part 2.

Your hair is beautiful!

Love your video💜

i know this technique it's realy old and i like to see that it is still in use :)

You are living my childhood dream

Hi! Beautiful video, I'm from Rome and I would like to know the name of the convent where you bought the perfume. Grazie mille❤

Hi, i love your video, but cant seem to find the second part. Would you be so kind as to advise me on where I find it. I would love to try this at home. Thank you!!

May I ask where is the video after this one? Thank you!

Awesome!

absolutely brilliant! where's the rest of the process!!

where is the part 2?, today is 2016 two years and I can not find it.

wouldn't it be easier if you warm up the coconut oil enough to become liquid then add the flowers?

Lovely family just like perfume !

Can’t find part 2 bummer! Please put a link. The one on the video is not letting me use it.

Can anybody tell me what's the next step? I need that so much for my thesis

can you give me a link to the other half of the video? I can't find him much thank you

Very nice and informative video watching from india

Where is part 2?????????? Please?????

Lol him smooshing the lives out of the flowers.... "Are you having fun"??? :Him smooshing the lives out of the flowers: YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
