Rosemary
Highlight: The kitchen herb that makes any room feel awake and focused.
Description
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) delivers a fresh, sharp, camphorous-herbal aroma with clean woody undertones - one of the most invigorating and universally used oils in aromatherapy. Steam distilled from rosemary leaves and stems, this pure essential oil is a middle note that anchors morning diffusion, workspace focus rituals, hair and scalp care rituals, and DIY body oil blends. Sharper than Basil, cleaner than Sage - the herb everyone recognizes from the kitchen, in a form that makes any room feel awake.
