【Carver Fragrance】Cape May Essential Oil

Cape May Essential Oil (South Africa) Origin Sustainably wild-harvested from the Cape May (Coleonema album) shrub, predominantly found in the coastal Fynbos biome of South Africa's Western Cape. This variety is rarely circulated, classifying it as a rare essential oil. Appearance and Aroma The essential oil presents as a clear, pale yellow to light green liquid with a light, refreshing texture. Its aroma is vibrant and dominant in the top notes, characterized by fresh herbaceousness, a subtle peppery nuance, and resinous undertones, creating a bright and invigorating atmosphere. Botanical Characteristics Cape May is an evergreen shrub, growing to about 0.5–1 meter in height. Its leaves are small and needle-like, covered in fine, soft hairs. The small, star-shaped white flowers bloom profusely at the branch tips, scattering like confetti, hence its common name, Confetti Bush. Extraction Part Whole plant (leaves and stems) Primary Chemical Constituents Monoterpenes (Myrcene, Limonene), Sesquiterpenes, Monoterpenols Historical Uses Indigenous communities traditionally rubbed the leaves onto hands or bedding to neutralize fish odors and deter insects. It was also widely used for purification and aromatic purposes. In modern perfumery and aromatherapy, Cape May is recognized as a rare aromatic source with profound depth and complexity.
