Calamus Oil
Has a sweet lasting odor, warm, woody-spicy with increasingly sweet body-notes. Some experts compare the scent to dried milk or sweet leather.
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."
