Organic Myrtle Essential Oil

Organic Myrtle Oil

The organic myrtle essential oil is greenish-yellow in colour and is characterised by a distinctive spicy, terpene-like aroma with camphoraceous and eucalyptus-like notes.

In the cosmetics and fragrance industry, organic myrtle essential oil is used as a versatile fragrance ingredient. Organic myrtle oil is particularly suitable for herbal, spicy, and aromatic natural fragrance compositions, adding a fresh Mediterranean character to perfumes, personal care products, and room fragrances. Organic myrtle oil is also widely used in soaps, bath products, and a variety of other personal care formulations.

For herbal and spicy fragrance profiles, organic myrtle essential oil blends particularly well with Organic Ginger Extract and Organic Lavandin Oil.

In aromatherapy, the aroma of organic myrtle oil has traditionally been valued for its calming and balancing properties. It is commonly used in fragrance blends, bath products, and massage oils.

Our organic myrtle essential oil is obtained by gentle steam distillation of the leaves, young twigs, and flowers of common myrtle (Myrtus communis). 

Interesting Things

In early summer, myrtle produces small white flowers with numerous long stamens. Their brush-like appearance attracts a wide variety of pollinating insects.

Since ancient times, myrtle has symbolised love, beauty, and purity. In ancient Greece, it was dedicated to the goddess Aphrodite, and in many European countries it later became a traditional decoration for bridal wreaths.
