Enfleurage is a process that uses odorless fats that are solid at room temperature to capture the fragrant compounds, such as volatile oils, produced by plants. The process can be "cold" enfleurage or "hot" enfleurage. The method was formed in the 17th–18th centuries in connection with the development of the perfume craft in the French city of Grasse.
