Essential oil produced by steam distillation of the fresh or partially dried leaves of the large and beautiful Eucalyptus globulus tree. Widely used as a lifting agent, to add diffusion and freshness to compositions, this material can be incorporated into virtually any fragrance, in widely varying proportions. Its pale colour and mobile consistency contribute to the ease of use of this material.
According to Arctander “In perfumery, the oil enters numerous formulas for low-cost perfumes, industrial perfumes, in the masking of various odors, and as a replacement for other essential oils.”
Of the 26 potential allergens that the EU requires to be declared, this oil contains 13% Limonene.
