U parfemima
Manuka oil functions as a heart note in herbal, medicinal, and New Zealand-themed compositions. Its unique triketone chemistry distinguishes it from other herbal oils. Works in aromatic, green, and honey-themed compositions. Also used in natural and aromatherapy-oriented perfumery for its antimicrobial properties and particular botanical identity.
