Description
Rosemary essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Rosmarinus officinalis, grown in Spain. This is the cineole chemotype, with a strong, fresh, woody-herbaceous aroma and a clean, invigorating character, and it is a bright middle note.
Its invigorating scent is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with focus and alertness, making it a popular choice in the diffuser for study, work and energising room atmospheres. It is also a long-standing favourite in hair care routines and pairs well with peppermint, lavender and lemongrass. Its 1,8-cineole content means it should be avoided in pregnancy and by people with epilepsy, and kept away from the faces of young children.
- Strong, fresh, woody-herbaceous aroma
- Popular for an energising, focused atmosphere during study or work
- Traditionally associated with mental clarity and alertness
- A long-standing favourite in hair and scalp care routines
Blends well with: Citronella, geranium, lavender, lemongrass and peppermint
