Kanuka is a monoterpene-dominant member of the Kunzea genus. It has a smooth, mellow bouquet that is touched ever-so-slightly by the familiar scent of 1,8 cineole with slightly sweet, woody undertones that become more apparent on the dry-down. It is reminiscent of manuka oil, though it has a somewhat brighter and more traditionally medicinal aroma upon first impressions.
The oil appears to be useful for topical needs that require a soothing touch and may provide a fresh and cleansing note to blends intended to be diffused for wellness. The aroma of this oil would pair quite nicely with brighter citruses such as lemon and even lime with more deeply developed, woody notes serving as the perfect base to anchor kanuka’s more ephemeral quality.

I absolutely adore the Kanuka from another vendor, so I was curious how this would compare. When first added it to the scent strip, the DuRu version was missing the the layers of scent I so love, and it hit a bit sharper, more bite instead of softly sweet. (I looked at the GCMS after I smelled it, and more than triple the 1,8-cineole content would certainly account for that!) It livens up once in the air for a bit though and the two become similar. It’s a very fresh scent, a bit sweet, a bit woodsy. I love it for passive diffusion.
