*Agonis (Taxandria-for botanists) fragrans originates from Australia and is a small shrub from the same family as the Myrtles.

Growers in Australia have been growing Agonis fragrans shrub on their farm, selecting a chemotype to obtain an essential oil with this specific balanced ratio.” Fragonia” is the trademarked name given to the essential oil distilled from this specific selection, by the Paperbark Co

Other essential oils of Agonis (Taxandria) fragrans exist, with different aromatic profiles, and are simply called Agonis fragrans essential oil. 

FragoniaTM is one of the newcomers (meaning, it doesn’t have centuries of traditional uses to back it up) in the ever-evolving world of essential oils, of aromatherapy and olfactory-therapy. 

As our knowledge of the plants of the world grows, and through global cultures exchanges, new uses and applications are being discovered. 

This essential oil doesn’t not have “traditional” occidental or western recognized uses yet, but Fragonia essential oil is now part of the new Aromatherapy aromatheca and is appreciated by modern natural Perfumers who seek to touch our emotions as well as our senses with their creations.

Do not use during the first 3 months of pregnancy / breastfeeding
