The essential oil of the Lemon balm is a natural product, steam-distilled from the aerial parts of the Melissa officinalis plant.
Bulgarian Mellisa oil has a sweet and fresh herbaceous citrus aroma and light yellow color. This aromatic complexity makes it one of the rarest and most potent ingredients within the realm of fragrance. The crop is harvested twice a year – in June and September.
It has been used since ancient times in cooking, for preparing teas and liqueurs, sauces, or soft drinks. It is often found in the perfume and cosmetics industry in the composition of various perfumes, creams, lotions, and others. It is also used in aromatherapy, spa, and wellness treatments. In the pharmacy field, it is used given the calming and relaxing effect balm has. Due to its long history within the industry, melissa oil has earned several unique names for itself, including “Heart’s Delight,” “Bee Balm,” and “Oil of Balm.”
