Described as "perfume of the dawn in paradise," Thyme unearths as a heroic herb. It is rare and enchanting to find an oil that is so powerful that also smells so lovely. The Latin word thymos means "to perfume," and ancient Greeks used the word thymiatechny to describe the art of using perfumes as therapy. A perennial favorite of the perfume industry, and at the same time, Thyme is a magician in skin serums.
Let perfume fragrance your mind with these molecules that clear pathways for concentration and creativity.
"Genuine Thymus vulgaris is not as readily available as one might think. In its genuine state, it has a significantly more pleasant scent than most oils with an up-ward adjusted phenol content."
~ Kurt Schnaubelt, Advanced Aromatherapy
'There is fire within the soul of thyme..."
