Honeysuckle Essential Oil is the aromatic extract of honeysuckle flowers. RV Organica’s Honeysuckle Essential Oil is an absolute, meaning it is obtained by solvent extraction of freshly harvested flowers rather than by steam distillation. It is a thin to medium liquid, orange-green to green-brown in colour, packed at our facility in Nimbri, Panipat, Haryana, and offered in sizes from 100 ml to 25 kg.

What is honeysuckle essential oil and how is it made?

Honeysuckle is a climbing flowering shrub known for the sweet scent its blossoms release in the evening. The flowers are delicate and yield very little oil, and heat damages their fragrance, so the scent is usually captured by solvent extraction instead of distillation. The flowers are washed with a solvent that dissolves the aroma compounds, the solvent is removed, and what remains is a concentrated, fragrant absolute. This is why honeysuckle oil is coloured and slightly viscous, unlike a clear distilled oil.

The aroma comes from a mix of floral and honeyed compounds, including linalool, geraniol, nerol, α-terpineol, benzyl alcohol, farnesol and eugenol. Linalool, geraniol, eugenol, farnesol and benzyl alcohol are among the fragrance allergens that EU cosmetics rules require makers to declare on product labels above set thresholds, so formulators should check labelling requirements for their market.

What does honeysuckle essential oil smell like?

Honeysuckle smells sweet, rich and floral, like warm summer blossoms, with honey, soft citrus and ripe fruit underneath. It is heady and romantic rather than green or sharp. It brings the nostalgic sweetness of a garden at dusk to a blend, which makes it a favourite in floral and fruity-floral compositions.

How do you use honeysuckle essential oil in a diffuser?

Add a few drops to a diffuser to fill a room with a sweet, light floral scent. It suits living rooms, bedrooms and entrance areas, and it works well in spring and summer blends. For a classic floral bouquet, pair it with jasmine essential oil or neroli essential oil. Our diffuser oils collection has more combinations to try.

How do you use honeysuckle essential oil in body oils and skin care?

Always dilute honeysuckle oil before it touches the skin. It dissolves in alcohol and fixed oils but not in water, so mix it into a carrier oil first. The right ratio depends on how much you are making and where it will be used, and our essential oil dilution calculator works it out for you. Once diluted, it adds a sweet floral note to body oils, lotions, creams and massage blends. It also works in body mists and room sprays, where its light, airy scent shows well.

Can you use honeysuckle essential oil in soap, candles and perfume?

Yes. In soap, add it to your soap base at the level your formulation recommends, and remember that its colour can tint pale bases. In candles, test a small batch first, because floral scents are delicate and scent throw changes with wax type and wick size. In perfumery it works as a heart note that adds honeyed sweetness, and it pairs well with rose, ylang ylang, bergamot, grapefruit, lavender, sandalwood, patchouli, geranium, mandarin and frankincense. In hair products it adds a pleasant fragrance to sprays and mists.

How should you store honeysuckle essential oil?

Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight. Close the cap straight after each use, because air and light speed up oxidation and dull the aroma over time. Stored well, the oil keeps its quality for the full two year shelf life.

Is honeysuckle essential oil safe to use?

Honeysuckle essential oil is for external use only. Do not ingest it. Always dilute it in a carrier oil before applying it to the skin, do a patch test first, and avoid direct sunlight on treated skin.
