Common Myrtle Oil  Myrtus communis

The myrtle plant is a bushy evergreen shrub with glossy, dark green leaves, fragrant white flowers, and purple-black berries. Also known as Corsican pepper, Common Myrtle has been used for thousands of years as a symbol of love, honor, happiness, and generosity. As early as 600 B.C., myrtle was also used in Biblical purification ceremonies. In modern times, myrtle is often found in lotions, perfumes, and bath products.
