Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) has an intensely fresh, penetrating and balsamic aroma. Its unique fragrance combines menthol and camphor notes with a slightly sweet and woody undertone. The aroma of eucalyptus is immediately recognizable for its refreshing character and its ability to clear the respiratory tract.

Originally from Australia, where the aborigines used it as a medicinal plant, eucalyptus has spread throughout the world due to its rapid growth and multiple applications. Its characteristic aroma comes mainly from eucalyptol (cineol), a compound with remarkable antiseptic and expectorant properties.

In aromatherapy, eucalyptus is valued for its ability to purify the environment and facilitate breathing. Its presence in medicinal and cosmetic products is very common, especially in those intended for respiratory relief.
