As with all of our oils, we at New Directions Inc. ethically source our products. In this case, it involves attending Government sponsored auctions.
Color: Clear to pale yellow
Common Uses: Rosewood is credited with being a Bactericidal, anti-fungal, antiviral, anti-parasitic cellular stimulant, immune system stimulant, tissue regenerator, tonic, antidepressant, antimicrobial, and as an aphrodisiac. It is also regarded as a general balancer to the emotions.

Note: Top
Strength of Aroma: Medium
Blends well with: cedarwood, frankincense, geranium, rosemary, mandarin, ylang ylang.
Aromatic Scent: Rosewood has a fantastic warm and woody scent, while at the same time being both floral and fruity. Rosewood oil is rich in linalool, a chemical which can be transformed into a number of derivatives of value to the flavor and fragrance industries.
History: Rosewood has been introduced to aromatherapy only recently. Research in October of 1995 has shown this oil to have the highest inhibition rate of all the oils tested against gram positive and gram-negative bacterial growth.
Cautions: Avoid in pregnancy. Possible irritant to sensitive skin.

The batch I received was a very elegant Rosewood with excellent theraputic qualities and simply lovely in terms of sheer sensual fragrance.

This one is a must-have. I love woody scents for being a deep and clean smell, but this one is also sweet so it blends well with florals, citrus, and vanilla. I find that it rounds out mixes well when they just need a little something extra.

What a lovely scent! I agree with the comment below that it adds depth to floral blends. I blended the rosewood with bergamot with a lovely result. I can't imagine living without it! Very high quality as usual.

My all time favourite scent. And the fact that NDA obtains their rosewood from ethically responsible sources (at least the most responsible possible in the circumstances) makes it 10 times better!

This is my favorite woodsy scent, after sandalwood. I love it in perfume blends, bath salts, and for skin care products like lotions and moisturizing soaps.

The best scent ever. I use it in my face serum and add a few drops in my shea butter mixture. It reminds me of some of my mother's antique chests that my great granny brought from China.

A great scent! I use this in blends with lavender and sometimes with vanilla and it's great. It's also good enough to stand alone.

A glorious Rosewood from the Brazilian jungle with a unique rich floral-citrusy fragrance. I used it in my Private Estate Stash of Special Soaps, that I create only for my family not for my Company...but guess what...everyone wants it now after using it when they visit! I guess I'll be ordering a very large quantity soon.
