Kewra essential oil pandanus tectorius has a sweet, perfumed odour with a pleasant quality similar to rose flowers, but kewra is more fruity. The essential oil from pandanus flowers is dominated by 2-phenylethyl-methylether (-phenyl ethyl methyl ether, 60 to 80%); minor components are the free alcohol, 2-phenylethanol (-phenyl ethyl alcohol) and its acetic acid ester; 2-phenylethanol is also an important aroma component in rose water. Because it is well soluble in water, 2-phenylethanol can be captured in aqueous distillates quite easily. Furthermore, monoterpenes have been found to contribute to the fragrance. The most important terpene in pandanus flowers is terpinene-4-ol (up to 15%); furthermore, -terpineol, -terpinene and dipentene have been reported.

Odoratissimus a fragrant subspecies of p. Tectorius parkinson, which is distributed much wider up to australia and polynesia.

This heartening oil with an elevating fragrance has been used for thousands of years for attaining enlightenment, awakening selfless love and augment spiritual bond. It also enhances memory power, clears confusion in the brain, support concentration and also aides in treating various skin conditions like acne, scars and dark circles.
