Thyme

Thyme (Thymus vulgaris) delivers a warm, intense, sharply herbaceous aroma with a fresh, green character - the potent scent of the classic culinary herb. Steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops, this pure essential oil is a strong middle note that adds a bold, clean-scented herbal lift to diffuser blends. Sharper than Rosemary, hotter than Marjoram. Thyme is a hot oil and skin irritant, so use it carefully and patch-test.
