Elegant Calm from the Forest – 100% Natural Kuromoji Essential Oil

Product Description

Discover the gentle power of Kuromoji—an elegant essential oil extracted from the fragrant leaves and branches of Lindera umbellata, a native Japanese tree in the camphor family. Kuromoji has long been cherished in Japan for its role in tea, wellness, and traditional crafts. Now, this forest treasure brings its subtle, universally loved aroma into your daily life.

A Fragrance That Soothes the Soul

With notes similar to lavender, yet distinctly woodsy and refined, Kuromoji is often described as a “sincere and unobtrusive” scent. Its aroma supports relaxation, stress relief, and mental clarity—making it ideal for use in bedrooms, meditation spaces, or moments of deep focus. Because it's naturally gentle, it’s well-suited even for those sensitive to strong scents.

How to Enjoy:

  • Room Fragrance: Add 1–3 drops to an aroma diffuser or lamp, allowing the calming scent to fill your space.
  • Aroma Bath: Add up to 5 drops to a full-body bath (or 3 for a half-bath) and soak in its gentle fragrance.
  • Handmade Cosmetics: Incorporate a few drops into DIY creams, sprays, or balms for a personal, relaxing touch.

Each batch is carefully distilled using time-honored methods to ensure purity and preserve the full character of the Kuromoji tree. Because it is a natural product, the aroma may vary slightly depending on the season, soil, and forest where it’s harvested—from the deep woodlands of Japan’s Eco Park in the Kii Peninsula.

Let Kuromoji guide your senses to a quieter, more grounded space—whether through your morning meditation or your evening wind-down ritual.

FAQs

All you need to know about Odai Home Diffusers.

What makes Odai essential oil diffusers unique?

Odai diffusers are handcrafted using natural materials sourced directly from the forests of Odai Town, Mie Prefecture—a UNESCO Eco Park. Paired with 100% natural essential oils extracted from local trees, each diffuser reflects the purity, craftsmanship, and environmental harmony of the region.

Are natural diffusers safe to use around children or pets?

Yes, as long as you use 100% natural essential oils and follow safety guidelines. Always keep diffusers out of reach of children and pets. Avoid direct skin contact or ingestion.

How should I care for my diffuser?

Keep your diffuser in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. If it’s made of wood, let it dry fully between uses and avoid washing it with water. You can switch scents, but it's best to dedicate each diffuser to one type of oil to preserve the aroma’s purity.

How are the essential oils and aromatic waters produced?

All essential oils and aromatic distilled waters are produced using a traditional steam distillation method, which gently extracts fragrance compounds without the use of chemicals or solvents. The raw materials—branches, leaves, and wood—are carefully selected and harvested by hand by the Miyagawa Forestry Association, based in Odai Town. This method preserves the purity and complexity of the natural forest aromas, resulting in high-quality, 100% natural scents sourced directly from one of Japan’s most pristine environments.

How long does the scent last when using the essential oil with a natural diffuser?

On average, the scent from the essential oil will gently diffuse for about 1.5 months when used with a natural, passive diffuser such as wood or unglazed ceramic. Longevity may vary depending on room temperature, ventilation, and the amount of oil applied, but regular use with a few drops at a time ensures a continuous, subtle aroma throughout the space.
