Native to Southern and Eastern Asia, the albizia was introduced to Europe in the 18th century by an Italian naturalist who was captivated by the beauty of this delicate-looking tree. Admired for its ornamental qualities, it rapidly spread throughout Europe and America where, during the summer, it produces silky, feathery flowers, earning it the name of "silktree". Albizia is referred to as the “sleeping tree” in Japan due to the way in which its leaves close in low light and temperatures or when it rains. The tree’s bark extract used by Clarins Laboratories helps combat the signs of fatigue (puffiness and dark circles).
