Calamus root essential oil, also known as "Sweet Flag", is a pale yellow liquid displaying a smooth, warm, woody-earthy-spicy bouquet with a milky, sweet undertone of very good tenacity. You have never smelled anything quite like this lovely rare oil.
Our calamus oil is wild harvested in Nepal and is wonderful for adding complex and interesting notes to a scent. It's gentle spice is vaguely reminiscent of the scent of cinnamon bark floating on the air while its earthy tones are well rounded and subtle.
Calamus oil contains around 70% asarones which are restricted by IFRA in natural oils to 0.01% of a finished product. Despite the restrictions this is still a wonderful material to have in the perfumer's palette and is most certainly still useable in commercial scents.
