Floral Essential Oils for Summer: Immerse Yourself in Nature's Aromatic Embrace
During the long, hot days of summer, essential oils for summer, and especially floral essential oils, can provide a sense of support and appreciation as we journey through the season. Belonging to the plant kingdom, flowers tend to draw us in - they signify new life and connection. Some scientists believe that the beauty and fragrance of flowers not only attract pollinators but also entice humans to plants that will soon bear fruit. Flowers are the Creator’s enduring symbol of life supporting life.
The heavenly aroma of flowers can embrace us like an old friend, bringing peace, joy, and gentleness to any moment.
Can you imagine sitting in a field of 10,000 roses or walking through a blossoming orange orchard? As incredible as it may sound, such experiences may not be immediately accessible to all of us in the physical realm. Fortunately, we can be transported via our senses to these serene and supportive spaces within our hearts and minds.

Floral essential oils delight the senses and invite the mind on a journey that can be carried throughout the day.
Magnolia: A Rare and Unique Floral Essential Oil
One of our favorite floral essential oils is Magnolia. This rare and unique essential oil is steam distilled from the strongly fragrant flowers of the Magnolia tree. In aromatherapy, Magnolia Flower Essential Oil is known as a calming, relaxing, and soothing oil.
The sheer volume of plant material used in these floral essential oils is astounding! And the care and handling of all these delicate little petals on their way to being distilled is also very important.
Just a single pint of Rose Essential oil takes about 10,000 rose petals, and to make twice as much Neroli Essential Oil takes an entire TON of fragile blossoms from the orange tree. Can you imagine picking 10,000 roses or a ton of Neroli blossoms and getting them into the distiller before they wilt? That amount of labor takes a lot of love and dedication.
The Power of 100% Flower Petals - Floral Essential Oils for Summer
In addition to our Floral Collection, we offer a Petals Only collection. With the essence of every petal expressed (and no distraction from stem or leaf), these flower oils are extremely concentrated and packed with remarkable aromatic qualities. Many of our floral essential oils are soothing, uplifting, heart-opening, and known to create an atmosphere of relaxation and tranquility. Their aromas are rich and decadent, often smelling just as delightful and complex when diluted in a carrier oil as they do at their full strength. A little bit goes a long way!
Floral fragrances are popularly used in cosmetics today, but don't be fooled - many perfumes and cosmetics are made from synthetic chemical fragrances and do not contain any of the authentic properties the flower actually carries, even if it is advertised as a floral scent.
Authentic Ingredients Matter
It's actually extremely rare to find products that contain real essential oils with no additives, so take caution before purchasing a floral-scented lotion. Neroli is one of the most commonly adulterated essential oils on the market.
Some essential our oils that are made from the flower blossom alone include Neroli, Jasmine, Rose Otto, and Champaca. These oils are known for their exquisite fragrances and unique characteristics.
Whether it's Blue Tansy, Roman Chamomile, German Chamomile, Cistus, Egyptian Geranium, Corsican Helichrysum Italicum, Fine French Lavender, Ylang Ylang Complete, or Palmarosa, floral essential oils can provide an enchanting and captivating experience.
As you explore the world of floral essential oils, consider incorporating them into your daily routine and immerse yourself in the beautiful aromas of nature. Allow these scents to transport you to serene and supportive spaces, filling your days with peace, joy, and the gentle embrace of nature's most exquisite creations.
Experience Our Floral Essential Oils
During summer, these flowers can provide a sense of support and appreciation as we journey through the season. Floral essential oils capture the delightful aromas and unique characteristics of these blooms, allowing us to immerse ourselves in nature's aromatic embrace.
Let's take a closer look at some of our wonderful floral essential oils and their captivating qualities.
Some essential oils that are made from the flower blossom alone are as follows:
Neroli
True Neroli essential oil requires one ton of flower blossoms from the bitter orange tree to make one quart of oil. In order to create quality essential oil from this flower, the blossoms must be distilled immediately after harvesting — a very labor-intensive endeavor. In some traditions, brides would include neroli flowers in her wedding wreath and the newly-wedded couple would spread Neroli on their wedding bed to enhance intimacy and soothe their uneasiness. This flower has also been known to awaken creativity, wisdom, and intuition. See our pre-diluted Neroli Essential Oil in Meadowfoam Seed oil intended for immediate topical application and perfume!
Jasmine
Jasmine flowers have a long rich history in several cultures and have always been identified with feelings of beauty and divinity. In addition to being very nourishing and healing for the skin, this oil also stimulates passion and desire while taming inhibitions and quieting thoughts. The delicate aroma of the jasmine flower is unique and seductive. CO2 Jasmine is extracted into a thick, hard, waxy consistency. In order to provide a wonderful Jasmine oil, is it diluted at a 10% ratio of Jasmine Oil to 90% ratio of Meadowfoam Seed Oil.
Rose Otto
This Bulgarian Rose Essential Oil, also known as Rose Otto is harvested from the world-renowned Kazanlak Valley of Roses, which is considered to have the best soil structure, air humidity, and precipitation for growing these plants. This valley is surrounded by mountains and forests that cradle this sacred land, protecting it from the outside world. Bulgarian Rose Otto harvests occur in late spring and are still hand-picked according to the 300-year old tradition. It is no wonder that the frequency of roses opens the heart to unconditional love and gratitude! See our Rose diluted in Meadowfoam Seed Oil intended for immediate topical application and perfume.

This flower is native to South and Southeast Asia, and when this tree is in bloom the fragrance emitted by its flowers can be smelled from 100 feet away. Champaca Oil has a lingering scent, creating an atmosphere of concentration. As much as Champaca is being used in religious places, they can as well be used in homes to bring relaxing, peaceful, and refreshing moods.

The following floral essential oils include leaves and stems and impart the flower's aroma:
Blue Tansy Essential Oil
Blue Tansy Essential Oil comes from a small flower that grows in Morocco. This oil is also known as Moroccan Chamomile or Moroccan Tansy oil and is well known for its rich blue color due to the presence of chamazulene, a unique anti-inflammatory compound. Our Blue Tansy Essential Oil contains 6.85% chamazulene, which is higher than the average 3-6% of most other Moroccan Blue Tansy. Blue Tansy is a very rare essential oil, and there are frequent shortages in its supply. Unfortunately, this means that some blue tansy oil that’s available on the market is commonly adulterated. Miracle Botanicals only provides 100% pure, therapeutic-grade Blue Tansy Essential Oil sourced straight from the plant.Roman Chamomile

Of the Chamomile varieties, Roman Chamomile essential oil is the most highly recommended as a calming agent and to relieve sore muscles.

Miracle Botanicals German (Blue) Chamomile Essential Oil is grown in the soil and climate of Egypt. Use our pre-diluted German Chamomile in Argan Oil meant for immediate topical application!Cistus
This Cistus Essential Oil comes from the same evergreen bush as Rockrose Cistus, but is made from a pink variety of cistus flower with a slightly different quality and fragrance. It helps quiet the mind and may calm. It also stimulates the five senses: touch, feeling, hearing, sight and taste.
Egyptian Geranium
Egyptian Geranium Essential Oil has an aroma that is rich, sweet, quite floral, and very pleasing. There are over 200 species of Geranium; the Graveolens variety is known to produce the highest quality and most therapeutic Geranium Essential Oil. Geranium Essential Oil is widely used in aromatherapy as a balancing oil for the skin, PMS, and Menopause.

Corsican Helichrysum Italicum
Corsican Helichrysum Italicum Essential Oil has a rich, potent aroma and striking medicinal qualities, although the yellow flowers appear small and understated. The plant grows wild on a small island off the coast of France. Helichrysum is known as one of the most powerful oils for skin health and cell regeneration. It can also be an aid in cases of healing physical and emotional trauma. The aroma of Helichrysum can be compared to curry, as many of its active oils are curcumins, the anti-inflammatories also found in turmeric. Helichrysum Corsica is a sub species of Helichrysum Italicum, and is known for its especially high levels of the compound neryl acetate, which is an anti-spasmodic and contributes to the more richly floral aroma of this oil.
Fine French Lavender
Our richly scented Fine French Lavender essential oil is cultivated and grown high in elevation on the foothills of the Alps in the breathtaking countryside of Provençe. The fresh, sweet, natural-floral aroma of this particular variety of lavender is slightly more herbaceous and gentler than our other European Lavenders.

We love diffusing this blend in our office space during busy hours and in our homes while we settle down to fall asleep. Its yummy smell and incredible array of health benefits fills us up with all the good vibes and feels.Ylang Ylang Complete
Ylang Ylang essential oil is distilled in stages from the fragrant flowers of the Ylang Ylang plant, which grows in Madagascar.
Each stage of distillation produces a distinct essential oil with a unique aroma, chemical profile, and therapeutic benefits. As its name suggests, Ylang Ylang Complete essential oil is a full, uninterrupted distillation.
As a result, the Complete distillation yields a complete and most representative collection of Ylang-Ylang compounds. Compared to other Ylang Ylang distillations, Ylang Ylang Complete contains higher amounts of the sesquiterpene Germacrene D, a compound that’s been studied for its antibacterial and cancer-protective actions.
Palmarosa
Our Organic Palmarosa Essential Oil is steam distilled from the dried grass part of the plant, which is harvested before it begins to flower. The sweet-smelling rosy oil is also known as Indian Geranium, as the oil has a very similar scent to geranium. Palmarosa has been used throughout India for thousands of years as a remedy for infection and fever.
Palmarosa essential oil contains high amounts of geraniol, which is a natural bactericide and antiseptic. Palmarosa essential oil is commonly used for hydrating the skin. Just a few drops may be applied to any skincare regimen to help with wrinkles, acne, acne scars, and broken veins. Palmarosa essential oil is known to have effective benefits on the digestive system. The oil is commonly used in Indian curry to aid digestion and also in African meat dishes to kill bacteria.
