Tea tree oil: a sharp, medicinal-camphoraceous top note with a fresh herbal-terpenic bite and a cool, slightly woody-earthy undertone. Cleanly antiseptic in character, reminiscent of eucalyptus but softer and more nutty-green.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Pale yellowish-green or almost water-white mobile liquid.

Odor

Warm-spicy, aromatic-terpenic odor, reminiscent of nutmeg, cardamom and sweet marjoram, but with a strong emphasis on the terpinene- and terpinenol-notes.

Flavor

Warm-aromatic, somewhat burning, spicy and yet fresh, faintly camphoraceous, slightly bitter.

Uses in perfumery

The oil has been gathering increasing interest for its warm-spicy, aromatic and fresh character, particularly popular since the introduction of spicy colognes and after-shaves for men.

Production

Water or steam distilled.
