Green Myrtle Essential Oil

Botanical Name: Myrtus communis | Origin: Corsica

Our organically crafted Green Myrtle Essential Oil is steam distilled from the vibrant leaves of wild Myrtus communis growing in the sunlit, rocky mountains of Corsica. Long revered in ancient traditions, Myrtle has been celebrated for its divine scent, symbolic purity, and role in rituals of love, prophecy, and healing.

The Essence of Sacred Tradition

A plant steeped in myth and medicine, Myrtle has been honored since antiquity as a sacred herb, associated with Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. While both Green and Red Myrtle oils are derived from the same plant, Green Myrtle—native to Corsica—has a distinct composition, rich in Myrtenyl acetate and Linalool, making it especially gentle and supportive for the respiratory system and skin.

Compared to Red Myrtle (often sourced from Morocco or Albania), Green Myrtle is softer, fresher, and ideal for those seeking a versatile oil to support breath, calm the mind, and uplift the senses.
