Australian Heather is an intensely fragrant flower; the aroma starts bright and lemony with a middle note of herbaceous green followed with floral and woody notes. The scent is refreshing and uplifting rather than super-sweet. 

 This glorious, starry-pink flowered shrub grows in substantial swaths in the Kimberleys in rugged western Australia. Only 10% of a shrub’s flowers are hand-harvested from these wild plants. The flowers are slowly steam distilled to release the floral, open-field aroma of Australian Heath. This is considered one of the most beautiful scents in the world.
