Definicija

Camphorous-green, slightly anise-sweet, distinctly Madagascan. Ravensara oil smells like eucalyptus crossed with anise — fresh, medicinal, bright.

Miris

Camphorous-green, anise-sweet, bright and clean. Less harsh than eucalyptus, less sweet than tarragon (which also contains methyl chavicol). A distinctly Madagascan brightness — something tropical-fresh that European aromatics don't deliver.

Detaljno

Ravensara (Ravensara aromatic a) is a tree endemic to Madagascar in the Lauraceae family. The essential oil, steam-distilled from leaves, has a particular profile: camphorous-green, with a slight anise-like sweetness and a bright, clean freshness.

The oil is dominated by methyl chavicol (estragole), limonene, and sabinene. The estragole content gives the anise-sweet quality that distinguishes ravensara from eucalyptus. There is also a particular 'Madagascan' quality — a certain brightness and clarity.

Often confused with ravintsara (Cinnamomum camphora grown in Madagascar, which is 1,8-cineole dominant), ravensara proper is methyl chavicol dominant. The two are different species with different chemistries.

In perfumery, ravensara functions in aromatic, herbal, and fresh compositions. The combination of camphor, anise, and clean green in a single oil provides complexity that single-note synthetics lack.
