About this composition

This record is anchored to a directly readable 2021 Lotus Garden Botanicals GC-MS report for Nepal-origin Sugandha Kokila oil. That batch shows an unusual cineole-and-methyl-cinnamate-led profile with strong alpha-phellandrene, limonene, alpha-terpineol, myristicin, and sabinene support, consistent with the species' spicy-sweet, berry-derived aromatic style. Additional minor constituents were cross-referenced from the Good Scents Company transcription of Adhikary et al. (1992) typical G.C. analysis of Nepalese sugandha kokila berry oil to extend compositional closure.

These uses reflect the profile's reported traditions and literature. They are not established treatment recommendations.

used in perfumery as a warm, spicy-woody note reminiscent of cinnamon and clove
traditionally associated with a warming, comforting effect in diffuser blends
used in massage blends for a warming sensation at low dilution
reported to support a cozy, festive atmosphere in seasonal blending

What we're still learning · 3 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

The public 3.3% max dermal citation is a secondary supplier safety statement tied to methyleugenol-containing Sugandha Kokila oil rather than a directly readable IFRA certificate or primary monograph for this exact batch.
Odor intensity 100 is taken from PerfumersWorld's published relative odor impact scale rather than a generic archive normalization.
No public source located in this pass gave directly measured volatility-rate or tenacity-hour values for Sugandha Kokila oil.
