This woody fynbos shrub has dense branches, small narrow sharp-tipped leaves, and small single white flowers. It grows in the coastal Cape Peninsula region, particularly around Table Mountain, and is also known as White Confetti Bush, Aasbossie, or Klipboegoe. Local fishermen gave it its Afrikaans name "aasbossie" ("bait bush") because they rub their hands with the leaves to remove the strong smell of red bait, and it has traditionally been used as a natural deodorant.
 
FRAGRANCE
 
Intensely herbaceous and green, with a distinctive peppery edge. A bright, fresh fruity top note (hints of blueberry and guava) opens the fragrance, drying down to a herbal, slightly camphorous base: fresh, wild, and unmistakably fynbos.
