Aromatherapy Data Sheet

Extraction : Steam distillation
pH : 3.8-4.5
Aroma and taste : Sublime, floral, fruity, refreshing, sexy, and luscious. One of the most complex-smelling hydrosols. Wear it as a perfume. The flavor is sweet and, again, both floral and fruity, with a hint of greenness. Undiluted, the flavor is almost too perfumed, overwhelming the senses; diluted, it is unbelievable and must be experienced. Delectable.
Stability and Shelf Life : Very stable; easily lasts two years or more.
