Oregano

Oregano is an aromatic and herbaceous fragrance note with a warm, spicy, and slightly camphoraceous profile. Its scent is earthy and bold, evoking the essence of Mediterranean gardens and wild herbs. Oregano adds a touch of warmth and depth to perfumes, often used as a middle or top note to infuse a natural, rustic character. It pairs well with woody, citrus, and other herbal notes, contributing to fragrances that are both lively and grounded, with an intriguing aromatic complexity.

History & Production: Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a perennial herb native to the Mediterranean region and has been valued for centuries in both culinary and medicinal practices. The essential oil is typically extracted from the fresh or dried leaves and flowering tops of the plant through steam distillation, capturing its warm, spicy aroma. Oregano oil has a long history of use in traditional remedies for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties. In perfumery, oregano is appreciated for its robust, green scent, adding a bold and distinctive character to both niche and mainstream fragrances.
