Marjoram – Organic Essential Oils
Legend has it that Aphrodite, goddess of love, was a big fan of marjoram, so it was a popular addition to love potions in ancient Greek culture.
 |
This herb grows freely in the hills of southern Europe. Hence, the ancient Greeks called marjoram ‘joy of the mountain’ and used it for wedding garlands and funeral wreaths.
The oil’s warm and spicy aroma, with its hint of nutmeg, makes it a popular choice for more masculine, Oriental-style perfumes and colognes, giving them a herbal/spicy edge. The warming and comforting nature of marjoram oil means that it is a favourite for sports massage.
This versatile organic oil blends well with spice-based oils such as nutmeg or cardamom but it’s also worth experimenting with orange, lavender, rosewood, frankincense, tea tree and a whole host more.
