Fragrance Profile
Ho wood essential oil is soft, woody, lightly floral, and balsamic — the high linalool content adds sweet, rose-lavender notes to the fundamentally woody character. The scent is gentle, approachable, and blending-friendly, performing well as a middle-base note in perfumes, soaps, and body care products. It is related to rosewood but gentler.
Usage
In a diffuser, add 4–6 drops per 100 ml of water — pleasant on its own, outstanding blended with lavender, rosewood, or bergamot. For massage oil, use at 1–2% dilution (6–12 drops per 30 ml carrier oil). In cosmetics — soaps, body lotions, hair care — use as fragrance at 0.5–1%. In perfumery as a linalool source, it can be used at 3–10% as a middle-base note.
Why Choose This?
Using natural ho wood essential oil instead of synthetic linalool is increasingly sought after in clean beauty and natural formulation. The Chinese Cinnamomum Camphora glaucescens variety has a particularly high linalool content — 80–98% — making it one of the most economical natural linalool sources available. The 0.5 kg size is ideal for meeting mid-scale linalool requirements.
Tips

- Suitable for sensitive skin when diluted (below 1%), but a patch test is always recommended
