A relative of the celebrated tea tree, cajeput is native to parts of Australia and Southeast Asia and has white paper-like bark. While its trunk is its most notable feature, cajeput primarily conveys its beneficial properties through its leaves, which are the source of its oil. The clean, subtly fruity fragrance of cajeput is frequently compared to tea tree and eucalyptus, another botanical cousin.

History
A member of the Myrtaceae family, which also includes tea tree and eucalyptus, cajeput shares some of those plants’ desirable attributes, but it has a unique scent all its own, blending a clear, medicinal quality with warm and fruity notes. Given this intriguingly fragrant mix, it’s no surprise that cajeput works wonderfully as a gentle stimulant to reenergize the weariest of souls.
