100% Raw Batana Oil is not a “fragrant” oil in the perfumey sense, it smells earthy, wild and, raw due to the traditional processing methods used by the Miskito people of Honduras, who extract the Batana Oil from the nuts of the American Palm Tree (Elaeis oleifera) by roasting the nuts over an open fire.
