Magnolia Leaf Essential Oil captures the ancient botanical power of the Champa Tree (Michelia alba), a species that has mesmerized for over 95 million years. Revered in India for its aromatic and therapeutic qualities, this essential oil is steam distilled from the tree’s glossy leaves, preserving their complex, green, and woody aroma.
Unlike the flower’s sweet, freesia-like scent, the leaf exudes lush green notes with hints of fig, bergamot, myrtle, and subtle woods, making it a multi-dimensional aromatic for skin, spirit, and ritual.

“He told of the Magnolia spread high as a cloud, high overhead! The Cypress and her spire; of flowers that with one scarlet gleam cover a hundred leagues, and seem to set the hills on fire.” – William Wordsworth
