By their deficiency In pungent odour (Which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracts de velopes most freely through its surplus of oxygen) By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being recuced in (specific density through the presence of acids < By their taste, the result of th contracting ten dency of resins and tennates.
