Aromatic Scent: Ravensara is said to have a medicinal scent that is camphorous like with fruity notes. Ravensara is not to be confused with Ravintsara oil which comes from the botanical Cinnamomum camphora as Ravensara is a completely different oil chemically and aromatically. It has a spicy, herbal aroma whereas the Ravintsara smells very reminiscent of Ecalyptus Globulus. Don't be fooled by other companies who sell the cheaper Ravintsara and try to pass it off as Ravensara. If you get this oil from another vendor and it smells like Eucalyptus then you have been duped.
