Description
Rosewood essential oil is steam distilled from the wood of Aniba rosaeodora, sourced from sustainably managed, planted groves in Brazil. It has a soft woody aroma layered with delicate rosy-floral and lightly spicy notes, and is a gentle middle note with a warm, comforting character.
Its grounding yet gently uplifting scent is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with easing everyday stress and a calm, settled mood, and it is a lovely addition to diffuser and bath blends. It pairs well with sandalwood, lavender, frankincense and citrus. Rosewood is CITES listed, so this oil comes from cultivated groves rather than wild trees. It is a mild skin and eye irritant, so dilute well and patch test first.
