Канука

Fresh, herbaceous, and tea-tree-adjacent. Kanuka (Kunzea ericoides) is manuka's gentler cousin — less medicinal, more herbaceous, with a clean, dry, almost camphorous freshness.

У парфумерії
Kanuka is a top-to-heart note providing clean, herbaceous freshness. It functions as a milder alternative to tea tree or manuka — less aggressively medicinal, more suited to fine fragrance. Built from alpha-pinene, viridiflorol, and green-herbal elements. Useful in aromatic, clean, and New Zealand-themed compositions.
