Aussie Trio

Our Aussie Trio celebrates the three quintessential Aussie aromas – Eucalyptus, Lemon Myrtle and Tea Tree.

Eucalyptus Narrow Leaf Peppermint Oil (also known as Eucalyptus Australiana) has a refreshing peppermint menthol eucalyptus aroma that's soft, slightly sweet and warming. It's harvested and distilled on the New South Wales south coast by Native Oils Australia from plants grown on Yuin country. This bright and nostalgic scent is a must-have for any collection.

Lemon Myrtle Oil is one of our favourite essential oils for its soothing, uplifting and peaceful scent. Its rich, herby and lemon aroma blends well with other Australian essential oils. Our Lemon Myrtle Oil is produced on a small farm on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales from plants grown on Dainggatti, Gumbainnggir and Bundjalung country.

Tea Tree Oil is another must-have. This popular Australian oil is widely used as a treatment for skin irritations, colds and coughs, acne, skin toning, bug sprays, lice treatments and more. It has a crisp, strong, camphorous and woody scent that blends well with other Australian oils. Our high-quality Tea Tree Oil is produced from plants grown in Bundjalung country, New South Wales.

Make it Merry and Bright with Aussie Blends

Australian Christmas Blend

This blend is sunny Christmas nostalgia at its best. While most dream of a White Christmas, this blend is for those that adore summer, sun and Santa in shorts. We've got our own unique Christmas style and it's celebrated with the fresh tones and brilliant aromas in our Australian Christmas Blend.

Aussie favourites like Eucalyptus and Rosalina blended with luscious Sandalwood and Pink Peppercorn and will instantly remind you of happy, hot and laid-back celebrations at home. Is there anything better?

Home is Here Blend

We’d be remiss if we left our Home is Here blend out our local list. A mix of Eucalyptus Broadleaf Peppermint, Honey Myrtle, Rosalina and Jasmine create a warming aroma that celebrates the scents of Australia. But the heroes in this blend (aromatically and symbolically) are White Cypress and Buddha Wood.

White Cypress is harvested by an indigenous community in Wiradjuri country. The White Cypress harvest is part of a regeneration project for the endangered Pink Wormtail Lizard. White Cypress is actually classified as invasive – and you can tell – it grows quick and uses a lot of the soil's nutrients. By stripping out selected trees, sunlight can reach the bushland floor and encourage plant and insect species that the lizard thrives upon to grow. Further, the spent biomass of the White Cypress Wood after steam distillation is currently being tested as a potential product to develop commercial building panels.

Buddha Wood oil is a seldom celebrated Australian oil. It's taken from a sturdy native Australian shrub and has a wonderful woody and whiskey like aroma that adds a unique scent to blends.

With bushy Eucalyptus notes, smokey forest wood scents and a hint of floral, this is a fantastic choice for a gift that celebrates all things Australian.
