🌿 Product Description
Melissa Oil, also known as Lemon Balm Oil, is a rare and premium-grade essential oil extracted from the fresh aerial parts of Melissa officinalis. Renowned for its gentle lemony aroma with herbaceous and floral undertones, Melissa Oil is revered in natural perfumery, skincare, and holistic wellness for its calming, antiviral, and mood-lifting properties.
Due to its low yield and high therapeutic value, genuine Melissa Oil is among the most precious and costly essential oils on the market. It is widely used in aromatherapy, stress relief formulas, and luxury perfumery blends, particularly for emotional balance, skin healing, and immune support.
