Myrtle

6 perfumes

Derived from the steam-distilled leaves of the Mediterranean Myrtus communis, myrtle offers a crisp, aromatic profile. It balances camphorous, herbaceous freshness with subtle, fruity undertones of blackcurrant and eucalyptus. Typically appearing as a sophisticated top or heart note, it provides a clean, green bridge between citrus and woody accords. In Gulf perfumery, myrtle is cherished for its cooling, medicinal clarity, often paired with Taif rose or oud to temper their intensity, adding a refined, verdant elegance to traditional compositions.
