If you can't find it on the web under the spelling that Baron
provided, try this one "mahalabiya". That is how it is spelled on
bottles I have. It smells like such an assortment of different
oils...nice smell. But I did not get the sense that it enhanced the
henna one bit when I used it.

Baron is so right about continuing to check out the forum for the new
information CCJ will bring back and share when she returns. Lurking
here with baited breath is what I am doing. Until then you might
want to try cajeput or ravensara oils in your henna mixture instead
of the mahalabiya if it is hard to find. People using it here are
reporting really good results. Catherine has pics on her site
showing the results she got with cajeput. I have begun using the
cajeput oil in my henna mixture and it has made all the difference in
getting the deep stains. I haven't tried the ravensara yet but look
forward to using it and seeing if it is as effective and satisfying
as the cajeput has been. If anyone else has used the ravensara I
would certainly be interested in what results you got and what you
thought about it.
