| Notes: | Label source: The wood came from the Verulam ? District about 15 to 20 miles from Durban. I am not sure if its the right kind of wood as it seems to be a lighter colour & less strongly scented, than the wood the necklace was made of. But the kafii assure, s me that this is the correct scented wood. It comes from a big tree whose leaf when out exudes a white juice. They tell me ???? their scent, they use the ground wood, with other perfumes obtained from other plants, but ?? the wood used for their ???? in, bushmans. | ||||
