Description
White Thyme essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of Thymus vulgaris, grown in Spain. It is typically a rectified grade with fewer phenols than red thyme, giving a fresh, green, sweet-herbaceous aroma that is softer but still warm and diffusive. It is a middle note.
Its refreshing, stimulating scent is popular in diffuser blends for a fresh, revitalising atmosphere, especially during seasonal changes. A little goes a long way, and it pairs well with citrus, lavender, rosemary and pine. It is a strong oil that irritates skin and eyes, so keep it to very low dilutions, avoid it in pregnancy and around young children, and do not add it to the bath.
- Fresh, green, sweet-herbaceous aroma
- Warm, diffusive middle note, softer than red thyme
- Popular for a fresh, revitalising atmosphere during seasonal changes
- Pairs well with lemon, bergamot, rosemary and pine
Blends well with: Bergamot, eucalyptus, grapefruit, lavender, lemon, marjoram, pine and rosemary
