With its big cities and blue waves, Australia sounds like the perfect getaway. Can’t make it to the land down under to see those stunning landscapes? Check out Australian Ericifolia, an oil straight from the Outback with a scent that’s as fresh and clean as the open air of the Australian bush!

Australian Ericifolia oil is extracted from the steam-distilled vivacious Melaleuca ericifolia, a plant that hails from the pristine landscapes of Tasmania. This Australian oil is also known as Lavender Tea Tree. As a cousin of Tea Tree, Australian Ericifolia combines the benefits of Tea Tree with the gentle fragrance of Lavender. Two great oils in one? Yes, please!

Australian Ericifolia essential oil has a clean, herbaceous smell with back notes that are freshly floral. Its sweet and woodsy scent is sure to remind you of Australian sunshine wherever you are!

Looking to create an essential oil blend of your own? Mix Australian Ericifolia with warm scents like Patchouli, exotic Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood™, or woodsy Cypress and Juniper.
