Ravintsara Oil

RAVINTSARA ESSENTIAL OIL

Description

Ravintsara Essential Oil comes from the leaves of the Camphor tree, which is native to Asia. They are known for their dark and light green leaves, which give off a distinctive camphoraceous odor when crushed. Ravintsara oil is obtained from extracting camphor leaves using the steam distillation method. The aroma of Ravintsara Essential Oil is somewhat similar to Eucalyptus in some ways, but I find it to be greener. Aromatically, it blends especially well with Eucalyptus and oils in the wood, mint and citrus families.
