Buddha Wood (Eremophila Mitchelli) Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Buddha Wood Essential Oil, also known as Australian Desert Rosewood , is a deeply grounding, smoky-woody essence distilled from the heartwood of Eremophila mitchellii , a hardy desert shrub native to the arid plains of Australia. Its scent is dark, resinous, and meditative , with notes of smoke, leather, and soft earth , creating a sense of calm introspection.
This rare and complex oil is cherished in perfumery for its mystical depth and in aromatherapy for its centering and tranquil qualities . It evokes the serenity of the Australian desert after rain — stillness, strength, and connection to the earth.
At Herbsmetics, Buddha Wood Essential Oil is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests experience its spiritual depth and meditative warmth , often used as a natural base note for grounding blends.
