Hi

It's true name is Aglaia odorata, aka chinese lemon tree or peppery

orchid tree. What you have is an absolute, since they don't make an EO

of it. The absolute is made from the seeds, which smell like the

flowers. It lends a zingy, high note to perfume blends. It is not used

n aromatherapy. It should be diluted before blending. I have a pic of

it on my natural perfumery group. It is blooming in my garden right

now, tiny yellow blooms, so cute.

 

It has only recently been sold in this country. Liberty natural and

whitelotusaromatics (where I got mine) have it. Liberty spells the

name wrong, so that is probably where your friend got theirs.

 

HTH.

Ah so, as I suspected. Thank you. Yes, I saw those

websites and the different names used. Definately,

flowery, yet subtle. I recently added some to a

Frankensense, Myrrh, Peru Balsm, and Sandlewood blend

I wear. Nice.

 

Nice picture at the website. Again, Thanks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best regards,

Carol
