What Buyers Say About Our Myrtle Essential Oil

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this myrtle essential oil graded? ▾
Our myrtle essential oil is sold as botanical grade. You can read the published Certificate of Analysis for this oil, and if you want specifics beyond that document, contact us and we will happily talk through what you need before you order.
Is this green myrtle, and how does it differ from eucalyptus? ▾
This oil comes from Myrtus communis, and the green myrtle type we favor is distilled from fresher growth, which gives a brighter profile. It has a soft eucalyptus-like coolness, but sweet floral and faintly honeyed facets set it apart from harsher leaf oils.
What does myrtle smell like, and what does it blend with? ▾
Myrtle smells fresh, clear, and gently floral, with a cool edge and a faintly honeyed sweetness. It sits gracefully in blends with lemon, lavender, rosemary, and neroli, so it works well in diffuser mixes and homemade fragrance projects.
How do I dilute myrtle for skin use? ▾
For skin use, dilute myrtle to between 0.5% and 2% in a carrier oil, which is roughly 3 to 12 drops per ounce of carrier. Patch test first on a small area, and keep it well away from your eyes.
What sizes do you offer, and do you sell wholesale? ▾
We offer ten sizes, from 0.5 oz to 400 lbs: 0.5 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 5 lbs, 25 lbs, 100 lbs, and 400 lbs. Wholesale buyers, formulators, makers, and resellers are welcome, and every size follows the same standard.
How does per-ounce pricing change across sizes? ▾
Per-ounce cost falls steadily as the size goes up. The largest size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest bottle, so buyers who use myrtle regularly save meaningfully by stepping up to a bigger size.
Do bulk orders come with lab documentation? ▾
Yes, every size is covered by the site's published Certificate of Analysis. If you need anything further for your paperwork or product file, contact us before ordering and we will tell you what we can provide.
Which size should I choose? ▾
Start with 0.5 oz or 1 oz to learn the scent and test a blend. The 2 oz to 16 oz sizes suit regular diffuser and DIY use, and 5 lbs and up are for makers, formulators, and resellers producing in quantity.
How and when does my order ship? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need extra handling, so allow a little more time for those. Checkout is through our Shopify store, where you pick your size and complete the order.
Why is myrtle so closely tied to Venus? ▾
Myrtle comes from one of the ancient world's most beloved plants, sacred to Venus and woven into wedding crowns for millennia. That heritage is part of its appeal today for makers who like a plant with a story behind a fresh, softly floral homemade scent.
