Escentia Melissa Essential Oil - Standardised - 20ML

Escentia Melissa Essential Oil - Standardised is a lemon balm-based aromatic oil used in aromatherapy and scent-led body formulations where a soft, citrus-herbal note is wanted. Also known as Lemon Balm, Bee Balm, and Heart's Delight, it is commonly used in oil warmers, steam inhalation-style routines, and custom blends for a more settled, uplifting atmosphere.

This is not a simple single-ingredient essential oil, but a standardised aromatic material created for a more consistent scent profile. Its bright yet gentle character makes it especially appealing in meditative and mood-lifting blends. Why we love it: Melissa has a beautifully soft, comforting freshness that feels both bright and calming at the same time.

This standardised version is especially useful for makers who want a more consistent aromatic profile across batches without losing that lovely lemon balm character.
