Origin: Kenya Description: Muhuhu essential oil is also called African Sandalwood. It is considered rare and steam distilled from the cut hardwood leftovers of the tall slender Muhuhu trees found along the eastern African coasts of Kenya and Tanzania. The hardwood is traditionally used for flooring, furniture making, carvings and crafts due to its beautiful marble grain design and reddish color when polished. Muhuhu is also called the oil of ordination. The essential oil is a pale yellow, viscous oil with a soft but sweet, woody-smoky aroma. Similar to (vetiver-cedarwood) but with a softer,finer aroma.
