## About
Some scents feel like a hand on the shoulder. Kunzea is one of them: fresh and clean, somewhat herbaceous and woody, with a sweet, spicy citrus thread that grows clearer as it dries down. It is a lovely companion in difficult times.It is steam-distilled from the leaves and twigs of the flowering branches of Kunzea ambigua, organically grown in Tasmania, Australia, and it has surprising depth for an oil drawn from twigs. As a middle note it is easy to blend, bridging bright citrus and heavy oils such as Alligator Juniper and Vetiver. It is part of the Be Kind collection: oils gathered by aromatherapist Lola King for Be Kind Botanicals, the company she ran for close to a decade.DetailsBotanical name: Kunzea ambiguaOrigin: Tasmania, AustraliaMethod: Steam-distilled leaves and twigs of flowering branchesGrowing: Organically grownBlends with: Bergamot, Black Spruce, Clary Sage, Cypress, Geranium, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Marjoram, Sweet Orange, Patchouli, Scotch Pine, Rosemary ct cineole, Tea Tree and VetiverShelf life: about 5 yearsHow to useDiffuse it, add it to a personal inhaler or a steam inhalation, or apply it at a safe dilution. For a blend, start with citrus and bright florals on top and a heavier wood such as Virginia Cedarwood at the base. Store it somewhere cool and dark to slow oxidation, since oxidized oil can become a skin sensitizer, and do not apply it to broken skin.A quiet, woody steadiness for your cabinet.
