Description

Tenacious, unique, and sweet. Buddha Wood is a small figwort tree found in the Australian desert.

The scented wood is traditionally burned for its pleasant aroma, and has been used by indigenous Australians for its antibacterial qualities.

Buddha Wood is steam distilled to extract a smokey, resinous aroma that beautifully complements any fresh base note.

Composed of eremophilone, 2-hydroxyeremophilone, and 2-hydroxy-2-dihydro eremophilone, Buddha Wood oil contains similar constituents to Agarwood .

Buddha Wood Oil is a dark copper red oil. Opaque, viscous, with a medium intensity aroma – the scent can be described as smoked and earthy, with a sustained, spicy undertone.

Buddha Wood Oil can be used as a fragrance in skincare formulations, perfumes, in essential oils and aromatherapy.

Buddha Wood Oil can be used as a base note fragrance, and beautifully complements cedarwood, sandalwood, peru balsam, rose, lavender, and ylang ylang.

Extraction Method: Supercritical carbon dioxide. This method uses carbon dioxide that is in a fluid state but has a temperature and pressure that give it unique properties somewhere between a gas and a liquid. This enables it to act as a solvent that is idea for chemical extraction due to its low toxicity. It is also able to preserve some of the more volatile components of essential oils that may be lost when other extraction methods are used. It is also very easy to separate the solvent (CO2) from the oil at the end of the process ensuring maximum purity.

** It is important to note that all CO2 oils are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying CO2 oils for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance – particularly the rare and exotic notes – become lost

CO2 oils can be very viscous or even solid and can be difficult to extract from the bottle. Gently warming the absolute in a water bath will melt the product and make it easier to use. Removal of the standard dripolator may be required in some cases.
