General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Fragrance and cosmetics:
Steam-distilled leaf essential oil is used in perfumery and aromatherapy, valued for its fresh, herbaceous–woody profile with camphoraceous and linalool facets (Choudhury et al., 2005; Gopalakrishnan & James, 1993). The oil is monoterpene-rich (pinenes, limonene, linalool) with a notable camphor fraction, conferring volatility and a brisk top note. Commercial reference includes EC 231–453–0 for oil of Homalomena aromatica, with IFRA guidance applicable to the camphor-bearing component (IFRA Standards, current edition).

Properties relevant to use:
The oil’s prominent monoterpene content and camphor/linalool balance underpin its odor strength and diffusion, which favor blending in citrus–herb and woody accords (Choudhury et al., 2005; Gopalakrishnan & James, 1993). However, camphor concentration and potential safrole-like constituents require cautionary handling and adherence to IFRA/regulatory limits for topical use.
