Brazilian Cabreuva, also known as Myrocarpus frondosus, is a tree native to South America, particularly found in Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. The essential oil derived from Cabreuva is highly valued in the fragrance industry for its unique scent profile.
The scent of Brazilian Cabreuva is warm, woody, and slightly floral, with a balsamic undertone. It offers a complex aroma that can be described as having hints of honey and a soft, rich woodiness that evokes the lush, dense forests of South America. This makes it an excellent base note in perfumery, providing depth and enhancing the longevity of the fragrance.
Cabreuva oil is not only sought after for its pleasant and inviting scent but also for its therapeutic properties. It is believed to have calming effects, helping to reduce stress and anxiety, and it can also be used to nourish and moisturize the skin, making it a versatile ingredient in both aromatherapy and cosmetic formulations.
