Myrtle Essential Oil 10ml
Myrtle Essential Oil — 10ml
Myrtle has been a sacred and medicinal plant across the Mediterranean since antiquity — associated with Aphrodite in Greek mythology, used in Roman wedding ceremonies as a symbol of love and fertility, and employed in traditional medicine across North Africa, the Middle East, and southern Europe for centuries. Steam-distilled from the leaves and twigs of Myrtus communis, it delivers a fresh, clean, slightly camphorous aroma with a sweet, floral-herbal quality that is gentler and more approachable than eucalyptus or camphor, making it particularly well suited to children’s formulations and sensitive individuals.
