Eucalyptus (Leafy)

Eucalyptus comes from a tree that grows in Australia, Africa, India and Southern Europe. It is known by several common names, including Blue Gum Tree, Fever Tree and Stringy Bark Tree. The trees grow very quickly and are the tallest known trees in the world.

The fragrant volatile oil, found in the leathery leaves, is used medicinally to treat croups and coughs, flu, congestion and as an antiseptic. It is also used in spas and saunas to open the poors and the nasal passages. As a perfume, it is used to scent shampoos, soaps and other body products. Like the mints, it is fresh and invigorating. It makes an excellent shower gel to wake you up on those cold and dreary winter mornings, and as a bubble bath in the summer to cool you off and revitalize you after a long work day.

UB's oil is a true eucalyptus, with a hint of wood and moss to create a perfume oil that is timeless. Mixes well with other leafy and herby scents, and adds a bit of zing to the florals and fruities.
