Calamus oil has a sweet, lasting odor. It is warm, woody-spicy with increasingly sweet body-notes. Some experts compare the scent to dried milk or sweet leather.
THIS OIL IS TOXIC HOWEVER:
The main constituents are alpha and beta asarone at a combined total of up to 90%. Although calamus has been used since Biblical times, beta-asarone is now considered to be a carcinogen and caution should be used with this oil.
The Acorus Calamus is a perennial plant known in the lower 48 as "Sweet Flag," "Sweet Root," "Sweet Myrtle," and "Sweet Cinnamon."
Caution: For external use only. Keep away from children & pets. Avoid eyes & mucous membranes. Avoid if pregnant. FOR PERFUMERY USE ONLY, NOT FOR AROMATHERAPY for aforementioned reasons.
