Easy breezy Honey Verbena emits the aroma of morning when everything is fresh and new. This elegant essential oil is an amiable addition to any aromatherapy apothecary. This pretty pioneering plant loves to grow as a salve to disturbed soils and happily adapts to a wide range of climates and terrains.

The flowers of Honey Verbena are steam distilled to produce an essential oil full of fresh-scented myrcene and floral, skin-loving linalool compounds. This nifty plant produces aromatic essences that humans love and flying pests avoid, so Honey Verbena Essential Oil can multi-task as a top note for perfume while coming to your defense against airborne aversions.

The faint of the aroma of verbena surrounded her, floating gently from Eleanor Butler's silk gown and silken hair. It was the fragrance that had always been part of Ellen O'Hara, the scent for Scarlett of comfort, of safety, of love, of life before the War."
~ Alexandra Ripley, Scarlett: The Sequel to Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind Part Two

"It was lemon verbena day, so the house was filled with a sweet-tart scent that conjured images of picnic blankets and white clouds shaped like true-love hearts."
