Chi Myrtus communis organic 10.00 Milliliter

Chi Myrtle organic bio

Myrtle is an essential oil obtained through steam distillation of flowers, leaves, and twigs. Myrtus communis is an evergreen shrub that can grow up to 3 meters tall. The shrub has shiny oval leaves that, when bruised, emit a scent strongly resembling juniper. Aromatic white flowers appear in spring, followed by blue-black berries. In ancient Greece, myrtle was dedicated to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and and beauty. Myrtle is still carried in bridal bouquets in the Middle East. The yield of essential oil for myrtle is 0.5-1%. This means that between 100 and 200 kg of plant material is needed for 1 liter of oil. The distilled oil is light yellow to brownish-orange in color and has an original scent. This scent is spicy with an undertone of camphor and eucalyptus. The oil becomes sweeter if the flowers are also distilled.

In France, myrtle is used as a flavoring.
