Extraction
Calamus essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the rhizomes. It appears as a yellow-brown, vaguely viscous and opalescent liquid, with a warm, spicy-woody scent.
Affinity
Calamus essential oil harmonizes well with the essential oils of: Cinnamon, Cedar, Cistus, Frankincense, Patchouli, Sandalwood and Ylang Ylang.
Property
Calamus essential oil is toxic and therefore lacks true aromatherapeutic properties. An antiseptic and insecticide, it is used as a fragrance component in soaps, detergents, and perfumes with a woody-oriental note. Any use of this classic aromatic raw material for food is prohibited and discouraged; the same applies to its derivatives.
Uses
Calamus essential oil is widely used in cosmetics and perfumery (composition of woody-leathery notes).
Botany
Also known as "Venus herb", calamus is a completely aromatic aquatic plant resembling a reed; it has saber-shaped leaves and small, yellow-green flowers. Growing to about one meter tall, it grows along the edges of lakes and rivers. Native to India, it is found abundantly in Russia and, in smaller quantities, also in Siberia, China, and the Balkan Peninsula.
