## About
Pass someone an unlabeled vial of this and they will say Rosewood. It is a small sleight of hand from nature: a leaf, not a heartwood, carrying that familiar aroma into the room.Rosalina is Melaleuca ericifolia, a relative of the familiar Tea Tree, steam-distilled in Australia from ethically farmed leaves. Because it comes from leaves, it is a renewable oil, an aromatic twin of Rosewood without the potential for rainforest damage. Its profile is high in linalool, in alpha-pinene, the note it shares with the evergreen oils, and in the cineoles familiar from Eucalyptus.In Australia this gentle oil goes by the name Lavender Tea Tree, and it makes a relaxing scent for the evening, a quiet companion for the diffuser as the house settles.DetailsBotanical name: Melaleuca ericifoliaAlso known as: Lavender Tea TreeOrigin: Australia, ethically farmedMethod: steam distillation of the leavesNotable for: linalool, alpha-pinene, cineolesShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useAdd a few drops to a diffuser, or dilute it in a carrier oil before it touches skin.
