Bitter Almond Essential Oil *Pro

Amber glass bottle with dropper containing 30 ml

Discover bitter almond essential oil, a multifaceted aromatic treasure that will captivate lovers of enchanting fragrances, indulgent cosmetics, and refined culinary creations. Extracted through steam distillation from apricot kernels (Prunus armeniaca) or bitter almond (Prunus amygdalus amara), this 100% pure and natural essence offers a powerful, suave, and balsamic fragrance, reminiscent of nostalgic treats like frangipane or almond-scented school glue. Its unique olfactory profile, powdery and indulgent with a subtle cherry note, makes it a prized ingredient in perfumery, pastry, and homemade skincare.

Main Characteristics

• Origin: Primarily produced in regions like Morocco, the Mediterranean, or Iran, this oil is the result of ancestral expertise.
• Composition: Rich in benzaldehyde, responsible for its distinctive aroma, it is carefully purified of hydrocyanic acid for safe use.
• Appearance: A fluid, colorless liquid, easy to dose thanks to the dropper bottle.
• Solubility: Perfectly soluble in 90° alcohol and fatty substances (oils or vegetable butters), but insoluble in water.
• Storage: Store away from light and heat, ideally in a cool place to preserve its qualities.

Flash Point

Bitter almond essential oil has a flash point of 64°C, meaning it may become flammable above this temperature. This property highlights the importance of handling it with care, away from flames or intense heat sources, while ensuring stability in common uses at room temperature.

Uses and Benefits

• In perfumery: A single drop enhances your creations with a captivating oriental note. Combine it with vanilla, tonka bean, or jasmine for hypnotic fragrances inspired by classics like Dior’s Hypnotic Poison.
• In cosmetics: Incorporate it into your soaps, creams, or homemade oils for a powdery, seductive touch. It is known for toning and softening the skin, with depigmenting properties when used in synergy with carrot essential oil.
• In cooking: A few drops transform your pastries—galettes des rois, macarons, or creams—into irresistible delights, evoking childhood flavors. Its intense aroma requires sparing use: 1 to 2 drops per 500 g of preparation is enough!

Why Choose Bitter Almond Essential Oil?

• Versatility: A single product to perfume, enhance, and delight.
• Potency: A concentrated essence that offers exceptional yield with minimal dosing.
• Sensory Escape: Its fragrance instantly transports you to warm, indulgent memories.

Precautions: Powerful and enchanting, this oil requires careful handling: dilute it in a fatty substance before skin application, test it on the inner elbow to avoid allergic reactions (due to benzyl alcohol), and avoid use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for children under 7 years old. Keep out of reach of curious little hands and away from heat sources to preserve its integrity.
