Thyme Wild

Thyme Wild (Thymus serpyllum) delivers a warm, softly herbaceous aroma with a sweet, mellow, green character - gentler and rounder than common Thyme. Steam distilled from the flowering tops, this pure essential oil is a warm middle note that adds a soft, clean-scented herbal quality to diffuser blends. Sweeter and less sharp than Thymus vulgaris, but still a hot oil and skin irritant that calls for careful dilution and patch testing.
