Dobijanje i hemija
Način dobijanja
The tree is collected in the wild. After felling, the trees are cut into one-meter long logs, which are taken to the riverbank and stockpiled there. When river levels are high enough, the logs are floated downriver to a distillery. Distilleries are often mobile, movable by raft, because of the remoteness and difficulty of travel in the Amazon. At the distillery the logs are chipped and then steam distilled. Each tree yields about 1% oil by weight of wood. Old chips are used as fuel to run the distilleries. The oil yield from leaves varies from 0.9% to 1.1% on average, around ten kilograms of oil per ton of leaves.

U parfemima
Rosewood oil is a valuable essential oil, especially in perfumery. It is of interest to the flavor and fragrance industries because it is transformed into several valuable derivatives. Linalool, its main constituent, is used as a scent in perfumed hygiene products and cleaning agents, including soaps, detergents, shampoos and lotions. Synthetic linalool does not substitute natural linalool, since its fragrance is of an inferior quality. However, it serves as a base for soaps and other hygiene and beauty products.
