Marjoram Sweet Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Sweet Marjoram Essential Oil is a warm, gentle, and comforting essence distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of Origanum majorana . Its fragrance is herbaceous, sweet, and slightly woody-spicy , with a soft warmth that distinguishes it from the sharper, fiery aroma of oregano.
