## About
Dusk, a candle, a meditation blend warming between your palms. Helichrysum is the Italian everlasting, a flower named for refusing to fade, and some count its oil among the sacred ones.This one is distilled the traditional way, in copper stills, from organically produced, wild-harvested flowers of Helichrysum italicum var. serotinum in Corsica. Its fragrance is warm, slightly honey-like, rich and buttery, with green notes of wood, spice and herb that unfold in layers as it dries down. Corsican oil is prized for its neryl acetate and its italidiones, usually found at high levels only in oil from the island. It is a deeply comforting oil, and a fine heart for a meditation blend.DetailsBotanical name: Helichrysum italicum var. serotinumOrigin: Corsica, wild-harvested flowers, organically producedMethod: steam-distilled in copper stillsBlends with: boronia, chamomile, all citrus oils, clary sage, clove, cypress, geranium, lavender, mimosa, neroli, oakmoss, patchouli, rose, vetiverShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useBlend it into a carrier oil for skin care or a meditation ritual, or inhale it.
