Description
Energetic Properties: In Europe, varieties of salvia officinalis were used in ancient rituals for purification, protection as well as for clearing the mind and connecting with one’s intuition. It is rooted in medieval folklore as one of the herbs of the virgin Mary and recognized for its vitality. It was also included as one of the powerful herbs that the church in France called “herbes d’Aout” and were harvested and brought to the church to be blessed during a special mass for the Assumption symbolizing fresh energy.
Smell: A camphor, grassy fresh aroma with a note of rosemary. Emblematic of the complex, wild smells of the dry, aromatic shrubs that include species of lavender, sage and wild rosemary.
Perfume: Top to heart note
