Michelia alba leaf, steam distilled, from China. Also known as Michelia champaca var. alba

Michelia alba is referred to as a strong influencer of other oils, working synergistically. For this reason, only small amounts need to be used.

Aroma: Michelia alba has a green yet light scent that has been described as painfully exotic with a hint of tropical, and representative of new beginnings and growth.

History: The Michelia alba variety is the most exotic and costly of the Michelia family. White Jade Magnolia has been used traditionally in temple ceremonies to mark births, deaths and holidays.

Common Uses: Michelia alba is reputed to have mood uplifting properties, though it is most often used for its exotic fragrance. I use it with rose to enhance the scent and hormone-balancing properties. - TTF
