Myrtle

Myrtle is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the Mediterranean region. It produces small, fragrant white flowers and dark blue-black berries. The leaves and flowers have a fresh, slightly camphoraceous aroma reminiscent of eucalyptus and pine.

Myrtle has a clean, invigorating scent that can evoke feelings of freshness and clarity. It is often used in fragrances to create a sense of purity and natural vitality. Myrtle-based perfumes can be worn year-round, but work especially well in spring and summer when the fresh, green notes are most uplifting.

Myrtle is commonly used as a middle or base note in fragrances, providing a fresh, green, and slightly woody undertone. It pairs well with citrus, floral, and aromatic notes, and is often found in colognes, eau de toilettes, and unisex fragrances. Myrtle is valued for its ability to add depth and complexity to a scent.
