ABOUT

Myrtle is a Mediterranean evergreen note that smells fresh, green and herbal with a slightly fruity‑floral core and a crisp camphoraceous/menthol edge, rounded by warm balsamic and resinous facets that evoke sun‑warmed maquis, coastal scrub and medicinal herb gardens. In perfumery it functions as a bright aromatic top-to-middle note—common in colognes, fougères, garrigue and chypre blends—bridging citrus and floral elements, lifting aromatic accords and pairing well with bergamot, lavender, rosemary, oakmoss and woods; the distilled oil is sharper and more camphoraceous, while the absolute is softer and sweeter.
