Small tree endemic to the dry and arid regions of western Madagascar, with very hard wood and large, fragrant leaves. Its cracked bark, grey, green and orange in colour, is traditionally used by the Malagasy in strips, assembled in the form of balls. Recently used, its essential oil is original: woody and slightly spicy, soft and enveloping.

Our opinion
Unlike the sesquiterpenes of Myrrh or Copahu, extracted from the oleoresin, here the "bark" producing organ imposes its mark. A fine example of an aromatic identity linked to wood. Very promising on all levels, this essential oil is carried by a solid personality that is somewhat reminiscent of Atlas Cedar.
