Escentia Calamus Pure Essential Oil is a 100% pure essential oil steam distilled from the roots of Acorus calamus . It is primarily used in natural perfumery and aromatic blending, where its deep, warm, spicy character can add complexity and depth to a formulation. This is a highly concentrated botanical ingredient that is used in very small amounts and is not a ready-to-use finished product. It is best suited to experienced makers working with essential oils in carefully diluted applications.
♡ Why we love it: Calamus is one of those more unusual aromatic oils that can bring real character to a blend. We love it for its rich, distinctive profile and the way it adds depth to more complex perfume and aromatic compositions.
