Ravensara Aromatica Essential Oil, Madagascar, not to be confused with Ravintsara oil which comes from the botanical Cinnamomum camphora.  Ravensara oil is completely different essential oil both chemically and aromatically.  Ravensara oil has a spicy, herbal aroma where as the Ravintsara smells very reminiscent of ecalyptus globulus because of the high 1,8-cineole content.  By contrast, Ravensara oil has very little 1,8-cineole.  Don't be fooled by other companies who sell the cheaper Ravintsara and try to pass if off as Ravensara oil.  If you get this essential oil from another vendor and it smells like Eucalyptus then you have been duped!
