Hyssop

About

Hyssop is an aromatic mint-family herb with a sharp, camphoraceous lift over bitter-green, peppery and slightly minty facets, rounded by resinous, woody and faintly honeyed-floral nuances; it evokes Mediterranean scrub and monastic herb gardens with a cool, medicinal breeze. Used very sparingly, it serves as a top-to-heart accent in aromatic fougères, herbal chypres, incense and tobacco accords, bridging lavender/rosemary to balsamic woods and resins while sharpening freshness and lending an austere, ecclesiastical character.
