KUSUNOKI JAPANESE CAMPHOR • True Japanese Camphor Tree Leaf essential oil • Japan

100% pure genuine Japanese Camphor Tree essential oil.

standard 5ml bottle

This local artisanal distillation of “KUSUNOKI” or Japanese Camphor tree, Camphora officinarum, the true historical Japanese camphor wood tree, offers us a gorgeous essential oil with more complexity and interesting aromatic notes than common camphor.

(most camphor and camphor wood products sold internationally are a different species altogether Dryobalanops aromatica, also often called Borneol once extracted.)

Camphor extractives are more commonly used in Japan as traditional medicine and insect repellent, or simply as an ambient aromatic.

The wood is traditionally used to create beautiful and durable wooden furniture and other wooden crafts that release a beautiful subtle camphor aroma into their environments for decades or centuries.

OUR PRODUCT: Here a local distiller has used the leaves and small branches of very large old true Japanese Kusunoki trees to produce an exceptionally sweet and smooth camphor essential oil with prominent heart notes of fresh green pear and fennel bulb among others. Pure hydro-distilled, wild-crafted, organic, medicinal grade.

Makes a wonderful ambient purifying aromatic for use in a room spray or diffuser.

Traditionally used in and on the body as a medicine. (inform yourself carefully before using it in this way)

The quality and unique full-spectrum aroma of this particular high grade KUSUNOKI essential oil makes it interesting for a variety of uses including as a ultra-high quality medicinal or even as a perfume ingredient.
