Home & Environment

• A powerful, "penetrating," and medicinal aroma
• It is a middle note that carries a warm, spicy-herbaceous scent
• Because it is high in phenols (like thymol), it is incredibly potent and should be used in small amounts so it doesn't overwhelm your blend

• Avoid during pregnancy and for those with sensitive skin.
