Most describe Nootka Tree as having a pencil shaving or gasoline-like aroma. Its complex, rich aroma adds a unique component to masculine and earthy blends. Today, Nootka Tree is trending as a natural alternative to insect repellent and as a source of antioxidants.
To extract the essential oil, the wood is steam distilled. Nootka Tree blends amazingly well with Patchouli, Bergamot, Cardamom and Mandarin. Try making your own signature diffuser blend with Nootka Tree’s unique aroma.
