Aromatic Note
Soft, woody-green scent with subtle fruity undertones.
More delicate than the wood oil, it unfolds gently—like a willingness to self-reflect.
The aroma invites inward movement without pressure, like the first breeze of honest awareness.
What the scent brings to light in the subconscious
Pathological desire to change everyone and everything around you,
while refusing to consider inner transformation.
This reflects a distorted view of personal integrity,
where the ego claims: “I’m fine; the world is wrong.”
Rosewood Leaf oil redirects this view inward—not with blame, but with gentle encouragement.
Emotional & Psychological Impact
Softens inner rigidity and supports honest self-awareness.
Helps one realize that personal boundaries are not walls, but breathing membranes.
Supports those moments when it’s hard to admit your own part in recurring patterns.
Brings back kindness toward oneself through truthful reflection.
Cultural Roots & Traditional Use
Aniba rosaeodora is a tropical tree from the Amazon rainforest.
Historically used in perfumery for its valuable wood oil,
the leaf oil is a more sustainable and gentle alternative.
Symbolically, the leaf represents sensitivity and channels for change.
In South American traditions, aromatic leaf plants were seen as guides to subtle truth.
Blend Compatibility
Blends well with lavender, bergamot, geranium, lime, palmarosa, and rose.

Fragrant Message

Your softness is not weakness—
it is your first step toward truth.
