Pemou is also commonly known as Siam wood. The smell is glorious, it is rich, warm, sweet and creamy and as the smell develops I would say it has similarities in smell to the conventional Himalyan and Atlas Cedarwood I offer crossed with Benzoin and a dash of blood Orange.The major constituents of the oil are fokeinol and nerolidiol accounting for over 70% of the oil. For the perfumer this is a superb fixative which will enable a wide variation of aromas to work well together.
Botanical Name: Fokiena Hodginsii
Origin: Vietnam
Pemou is obtained by steam distillation of the roots and is warm red in colour. Certified Organic.
