Kenanga

[A. G. Maisey]

For all those people who have been trying find the essential oil that is the western world equivalent of Indonesian kenanga (kenongo).

A couple of days ago I had the opportunity to smell a whole range of essential oils.

The oil sold in Australia as "cananga" is the same smell as the kenanga that I use, but my oil is very much rougher. My oil has the the bite of a rottweiler, the bite of the cananga is more like the bite of maltese terrier. But it is the same smell.

Find cananga and you probably come about as close as you can to kananga.
