Myrtle Oil Description

Myrtle essential oil is distilled from the aromatic leaves of this evergreen shrub that grows wild throughout the Mediterranean. It has small edible blue purple berries, and fragrant white flowers. The ancient Egyptians used to crush the leaves and add them to wine to treat fever and infection. Myrtle oil has a distinct, spicy, camphor-like aroma. The better oils exhibit a sweeter, fresher note. Myrtle oil is used to add a spicy, herbal component to outdoors and natural-type colognes. It blends well with bergamot, lavandin, lavender, rosemary, clary sage and lime oils.
