The oil is steam-distilled from the fresh leaves and flowering tops of the plant, which belongs to the Lamiaceae (mint) family. Commonly known as lemon balm, melissa has been cherished since ancient Greek and Roman times and has a long history of use in perfumery and aromatic traditions. It is one of the most expensive essential oils due to the extremely low oil yield from the plant - it takes a large quantity of plant material to produce a small amount of oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis oil has been grown on unpolluted sustainable land\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh, bright, and sweetly lemony with a soft, herbaceous warmth. Light and uplifting - delicately citrusy but distinctly greener and more complex than lemon oil. There's a gentle, honey-like sweetness underneath with faint floral and slightly grassy undertones. Clean, refined, and beautifully balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eValued in natural perfumery for its fresh, citrus-herbal character — adds a delicate, luminous quality to blends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eA lovely addition to diffuser blends, bringing a light, fresh atmosphere to any space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eUsed in candle making and soap crafting for its clean, uplifting scent profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlends well with lavender, geranium, rose, chamomile, frankincense, bergamot, and ylang ylang oils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePopular in artisan fragrance work for its refined, natural citrus-green quality\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eFor External Cosmetic Use Only\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHighly concentrated — use sparingly and always dilute with a suitable carrier oil before applying to skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMay cause skin sensitivity, particularly on sensitive skin — always perform a patch test before use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eConsult a qualified professional before use if pregnant or nursing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eKeep out of reach of children and pets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStore in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1ml sample supplied in a 5ml clear flint glass bottle with inbuilt dropper and tamper evident cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5ml, 10ml, 30ml and 50ml supplied in glass amber bottles with inbuilt dropper and tamper evident cap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note if buying large quantities of this item we advise purchasing a 1ml sample where available first to ensure that you are happy with the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCertificate of Analysis on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eImages are for display purposes only\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart of our proceeds go to planting native and rare or endangered trees from around the World.
