Hortensia

We produce Hortensia primarily through synthetic chemistry. Researchers identified the key aroma compounds in fresh hydrangea petals and reproduced them in the lab using a series of controlled reactions. The process begins with a purified precursor, which we combine with a catalyst at 120 °C for 45 minutes. After the reaction, we isolate the target molecule by fractional distillation, then filter it to achieve a clear, colorless liquid. When natural material is available, we apply cold‑press solvent extraction to the freshly harvested petals, but the yield rarely exceeds 0.02 % by weight, making the synthetic route the industry standard. The final product meets IFRA safety standards and is packaged in amber glass to protect it from light.
