Escentia Tagetes (Khakibos) Pure Essential Oil is a rare South African essential oil with a rich, distinctive aroma
and a naturally dark red hue. It is used in aromatherapy, body care blends, and home fragrancing where a more unusual,
characterful botanical note is wanted. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use body oil or room spray, so it
should always be diluted appropriately before skin use. Its bold scent profile makes it especially appealing in
insect-repellent style blends and more expressive aromatic formulations.
</p>
<p>
♡ Why we love it: This is one of those special local oils that feels instantly distinctive. The deep colour, unusual
scent, and South African origin make it a lovely choice for makers who enjoy working with botanicals that stand out
from the usual floral, citrus, and mint staples.
