In Victorian times the oil was used as a scalp treatment to help grow hair. The oil, known as Macassar Oil, was very popular. In one of its indigenous countries, Indonesia, the petals of this tree are spread on the bed of newlyweds.
Source
This 20 metre high tropical tree, native to Asia, produces flowers of three different colours; yellow, mauve and pink. However it is is the yellow flowered variety that's the most sought after for the oil that it produces, which is considered the best for extracting. The essential oil is extracted using water or steam distillation of fresh flowers.
