Handleiding

Experiment: Part 1

1. On each foil-covered cardboard piece,

spread a layer of fat no thicker than 1/4

inch thick on the smooth foil side.

2. Press the rose petals (or lavender

flowers) tightly together onto the fat.

3. Put the two pieces of cardboard

together like a sandwich with the layer of

fat and rose petals in the middle.

4. Put the “sandwich” on a double sheet

of paper towel, and wrap the paper towel

around it.

5. Put the heavy book on top of it.

6. After one week, check your

enfleurage. Exchange the old flower petals

with new ones, and let the fat extract the

oils from the petals for one more week.

7. After the second week, your fat-

fragrance mixture, or concréte, is ready.

8. Remove the petals from the concréte,

and sniff the remaining fat. Does it smell?

Now you can use the mixture for the next

experiment…

Experiment: Part 2

1. Ask your parents for help with this.

2. Put the fat-fragrance mixture in a

small pot.

3. Fill a larger pot halfway full of water

and put the small pot inside it.

4. Heat the two pots carefully on a stove

set to low heat, until the fat has melted

and become a liquid.

5. Remove it from the heat and let the

mixture cool a little.

6. After it has cooled a little, but is still

liquid, transfer the fat into a glass jelly jar.

7. Make a mixture of 10 ml (2 teaspoons)

Finalio and 30 ml (1/8 cup) water.

8. Pour the mixture into the jar of fat.

9. Put the lid on the jar, and let the

mixture stand in a warm spot for a week.

10. Shake it every now and then.

11. Now test the fragrance. The Finalio-

water mixture should smell lightly of roses.

You have successfully separated out the

fragrant oils.

This is how you prepare the

enﬂeurage: spread fat on cardboard

covered with aluminum foil, and then

press rose petals into the fat.

... WHICH PARTS OF PLANTS

EXPENSIVE FRAGRANCES COME FROM?

DID YOU

KNOW...

Just like with a

real enﬂeurage, you

can use alcohol (in our

case, the Finalio-water

mixture) to extract some of the

rose fragrance from the fat.
