The Bee's Beloved Herb

From sunlit Mediterranean gardens to one of aromatherapy's rarest treasures.

- The name Melissa comes from the Greek word for honeybee, drawn to its fragrant blossoms for thousands of years.

- Cultivated since ancient Greece and praised by Avicenna and Paracelsus as a herb of the heart and gladness.

- It takes several tons of fresh leaves to distill a single kilogram of true oil — making it one of the most precious in the world.

Refreshment

A very pleasant citrusy, spicy scent. I use it in an air-freshening blend. In my opinion, it lasts longer than citrus oils.

Soothing and refreshing at the same time

one of my favourite oils. I use it to relieve tension, to create a pleasant atmosphere, or in eczema creams

Outstanding

Very nice, I would say such a citrus scent. It must not be missing in the "must-have". I also use diluted with coconut oil on my skin when I'm in a bad mood.
