VALERIAN | Essential Oil

$22.00

Pure Valeriana officinalis essential oil.

Valerian is a perennial flowering plant native to Europe and parts of Asia. It is most commonly known for its sedative properties, and has historically been used to promote sleep.

Its essential oil is extracted from the root of the plant and produces an intense aroma with a distinct animalic funk that some find unpleasant. It is said that a masterpiece in perfumery is to mix the profane with the sublime; a touch of valerian has the potential to add the seductive putrescence of decay to a blend.
