Detaljno
Zanimljivosti
The pohutukawa (Metrosideros excelsa) is called 'New Zealand's Christmas tree' because it blooms in December -- midsummer in the Southern Hemisphere. A single specimen on Cape Reinga, at the northern tip of New Zealand, is considered sacred by Maori as the point where spirits of the dead depart for the afterlife.

U parfemima
Christmas tree / flame tree is a visual-to-olfactory fantasy accord for the heart zone. Since neither Delonix regia nor Metrosideros excelsa carries significant natural fragrance, the accord translates their visual spectacle (masses of red tropical flowers) into scent. Built from warm florals (geraniol, linalool), green-leaf notes, and faint honey. Works in tropical, summery, and southern-hemisphere compositions.
