The oil was also known as Fokiena Oil, since one of the sources of wood was the tree Fokiena Hodginsii, while another well known Fareastern species is Dacrydium Elatum, both belonging to the Conifers. It is most likely, however, that the greater part of all Siam Wood Oils consisted of oil, distilled from Fokiena Hodginsii.
Siam Wood Oil is a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid of a very pleasant, woody balsamic, opopanax cedar like, mild and almost floral odor which tones out in a cleaner, woody note, reminiscent of the odor from rectified Texas cedarwood oil.
