Myrtle

Myrtle is a fresh, green, and slightly sweet fragrance note with subtle herbal and floral undertones. Its scent profile is crisp and uplifting, evoking the natural essence of a sunlit garden or Mediterranean landscape. Myrtle adds a clean, airy quality to perfumes and is often used as a top or middle note to impart brightness and a touch of aromatic elegance. It pairs beautifully with citrus, floral, and woody notes, contributing to fragrance compositions that are balanced, light, and refined.

History & Production: Myrtle (Myrtus communis) has a long history of use in both ancient and modern cultures, particularly in the Mediterranean region, where it symbolizes love, purity, and renewal. The essential oil is extracted from the leaves and flowers of the myrtle plant through steam distillation, capturing its fresh, green aroma. In perfumery, myrtle is valued for its versatility and its ability to blend seamlessly with a variety of other notes. It has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, religious ceremonies, and perfumery, adding a touch of herbal freshness and sophistication to classic and contemporary fragrances.
