Thyme Serpolet WILD CRAFTED Essential Oil
Odor: characteristic Use: Mark Evans says about Thyme Serpolet Wild Crafted Essential Oil: “The standard thyme oil from Thymus vulgaris always reminds me of sausage meat. Maybe I have a weird nose or maybe it’s an association with thyme being used in sausages. So imagine my delight when I smell this wild crafted Thymus serpyllum and instead of that somewhat vulgar, meaty rosemary-like smell, I’m greeted with a delightfully fruity and bright juniper berry and rosemary and sage combo, bringing to mind a basket of freshly picked herbs and berries straight from the garden. Completely uplifting , energising and mouth-watering all at the same time. |
