Aromatherapy Data Sheet

Extraction : Steam distillation
pH : 3.5-3.8
Aroma and taste : Unusual. For some it is like honey on a warm toast, for others, dusty old clothes! Objectively, dry, warm, herbaceous, and hay like, with an edge of hot summer and dusty hilltops, and decidedly Mediterranean. The flavor is strongly bitter, almost soapy, with no hint of the sweetness evident in the scent.
Stability and Shelf Life : Stable. Usually lasts for two years, although it is so effective for so many things it gets used before it fades.
