Rich, sweet and wonderfully nostalgic, Bitter Almond Essential Oil is hydrodistilled from the kernels of the apricot fruit and prized for its unmistakable aroma of marzipan, almond extract and ripe cherries.
Capturing the scent of traditional confectionery and freshly baked almond treats, Bitter Almond Essential Oil offers a warm, gourmand character that brings depth and sophistication to fragrance creations, soaps, candles and personal care products. Its distinctive aroma is both comforting and memorable, making it a favourite among perfumers and artisans alike.
Unlike traditional bitter almond extracts, this oil has been carefully rectified to remove naturally occurring prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide), resulting in a Prussic Acid-Free (FFPA) essential oil suitable for aromatic and fragrance applications.
At Healing Hollow, we love incorporating Bitter Almond Essential Oil into soaps, candles, perfumes and specialty fragrance blends that celebrate warm, indulgent and nostalgic aromas.
