Botanical Name: Syringa vulgaris (Oleaceae)
The Celtics regarded the Lilac as "magical" due to its intoxicating fragrance. During the Victorian Age, giving Lilac reminded us of an old love. Often, windows wore lilacs during this period. In Russia, holding a sprig of Lilac over the newborn would bring wisdom.  
 
Aromatic Description: White lilacs symbolize purity and innocence. Violet lilacs symbolize spirituality; Blue lilacs symbolize happiness and tranquillity. Magenta lilacs symbolize love and passion.  Lilac Absolute Essential Oil, derived from the Syringa vulgaris plant, is extracted through solvent extraction, as the delicate lilac flowers yield insufficient oil through steam distillation. This process preserves the full aromatic profile of the flowers.
 
Most closely associated with the Throat Chakra (Vishuddha), Lilac Essential Oil supports self-expression, communication, and creativity, enhancing clarity in speech and helping individuals articulate their thoughts more freely. Symbolically, Lilac replaces renewal, emotional healing, and innocence, evoking feelings of peace, purity, and calm. Its delicate yet vibrant fragrance is also tied to spiritual protection and enlightenment, facilitating emotional and spiritual growth.
 
The essential oil's chemical properties include linalool, acetate, and benzyl alcohol. Linalool is known for its calming, relaxing effects, while linalyl acetate helps soothe the body and mind. Benzyl alcohol adds an antiseptic and calming touch. These compounds make Lilac Absolute ideal for emotional healing, reducing anxiety, and promoting a tranquil environment. Mentally, it supports clarity, relaxation, and grounding, while spiritually, it aids in opening the Throat Chakra, allowing for greater self-expression and connection to one's higher self.
 
Lilac Essential Oil can be diffused in aromatherapy to create a peaceful, uplifting atmosphere. It can also be diluted with a carrier oil for massage, helping to relieve emotional tension. A few drops of Lilac oil can encourage emotional balance for a relaxing bath. While not widely used in skincare, Lilac oil can be diluted and applied to sensitive skin to offer calming benefits. It blends well with other oils for various therapeutic effects, such as Lavender and Roman Chamomile for stress relief, Rose Damascena and Bergamot for emotional healing, and Orange and Ylang Ylang for an uplifting, invigorating scent.
