THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE SCENT
Inside the oil
An oil's character comes from its natural chemical composition. Explore each constituent to understand the connections.
About this composition
Public commercial and literature-facing sources describe Fragonia as a cineole-pinene-linalool balanced Australian myrtaceous oil. The main commercial profile cited here centers on 1,8-cineole, alpha-pinene, linalool, and alpha-terpineol, while the original Agonis fragrans composition paper also reports an alternate low-cineole / myrtenol-rich variant within the species.
