Orange Blossom & Cactus Flower - A Heavenly Combination

     
        When it came to creating the perfect scent for L’Ouest, we knew that the answer was right in our own backyard. Orange blossom and cactus flower are a delightful pairing, and we couldn't be happier knowing they are to thank for the wonderful and natural scent in all of our products. Orange blossom originally hails from the southeast foothills of the Himalayas, having been cultivated in China for over 2,000 years. The oil is extracted from the blossoms through steam distillation, using about 1,000 pounds of flowers to produce just one pound of oil.

        Known for its delicately sweet blend of citrus and floral notes, the scent is so pleasant it's actually therapeutic. The unique chemistry of the scent molecules produce positive physiological changes within the body, lowering blood pressure and reducing cortisol levels. Cactus flower also has similar aromatherapeutic benefits, and smells incredible. Adding clean top notes of candied lemon zest and waterlily. Both of the oils also have numerous benefits for hair including hydration and scalp health.
