Buddhawood

Buddha Wood Essential Oil

A hard-working wood from Australia, this oil is sometimes compared to Australian Sandalwood but with a smokier body.

Buddhawood is an asset in both aromatherapy and perfumery. Read Below.

Product Information

Eremophila mitchellii

Myopoaceae family

Grown and steam distilled in Australia

Not to be confused with Australian Sandalwood (Santalum lanceolatum), Buddha Wood has a similar woody and smooth body with a strong and comforting smokey note, some might say reminiscent of a campfire. Other tendrils come as pepper, leather and balsam/vanilla. 

Studies have shown Buddha Wood to be an insecticide, termiticide and some anti-bacterial actions.  

In Perfumery, Buddha Wood is quite unusual and would combine well with black pepper, ginger, opoponax, frankincense, ylang ylang, vanilla and balsam fir.

Primary constituents include eremophilone, 2-hydroxyeremophilone and 2-dihydromophilone (all are sesquiterpenes)
