Marjoram Essential Oil

Description

Marjoram Essential Oil (Origanum majorana)

The gentle warmth of herbal comfort.

Our marjoram essential oil is steam-distilled from the flowering leaves of Origanum majorana. It has a soft, warm herbal aroma with slightly woody undertones, long associated with cosy, comforting spaces. As a warm herbal middle note it brings softness and depth to natural perfumery, diffuser blends and home fragrance.

Each bottle is made of matte black glass to help protect the oil from light, and comes with a glass pipette dropper for controlled, drop-by-drop use. Choose the 10ml size to try it or the 30ml size for regular use.
