Ma'wa (or mawa) is produced from the flowers of the Madhuca tree (Madhuca longifolia) of Nepal. It is in the same family as the shea butter tree of Africa. This essential oil has a light flowery scent and is very nice both in blending and for perfume use.
Oriental Ma'Wa
Oriental Ma'Wa is a good 'cologne' type for men. Very oriental in its tone, it is probably the one oil we have that best reminds us of the old aftershave smell, only with a better appeal. The name "Ma'Wa" has been a bit of a mystry to us. We have found vaugue references to a plant of this name - sometimes from Africa, sometimes from the far East. The Chinese are said to use ma'wa in thier martial arts. But we have yet to find the real thing.| $12.50 1/4 oz | $26.56 1 oz | $21.88 1/3 oz roll-on | $6.00 2 oz room spray |
