Oregano Wild

Oregano Wild (Origanum vulgare) delivers a warm, intense, sharply herbaceous aroma - the potent, spicy scent of wild oregano. Steam-distilled from the leaves, this pure essential oil is a strong middle note that adds a bold, clean-scented herbal character to diffuser blends. One of the most potent herb oils, sharper and hotter than Thyme. Oregano Wild is a hot oil and a strong skin irritant, so it calls for heavy dilution and careful patch testing.
