Description

Rosemary from Gréoux-les-Bains, distilled in Valensole

In Gréoux-les-Bains, on the edge of the Valensole plateau, rosemary grows in the dry, sun-drenched garrigue that characterises inland Provence. Cultivated without chemical fertilisers or pesticides, it expresses here all the aromatic power that the limestone soil, the mistral and the burning Provençal summers bestow upon it.

After harvest, the branches are wilted on the ground for 48 hours — a step inherited from traditional Provençal practices, crucial for concentrating the aromas, reducing moisture and giving the bees time to leave the plant safely. They are then steam-distilled in a traditional alembic in Valensole, using a slow method that preserves aromatic richness and reveals a fresh, herbaceous and invigorating fragrance.

The essential oil obtained is 100% pure and additive-free,.

Why we love it

A first-choice alpha-pinene rosemary essential oil

Our rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis) presents a composition certified by chromatographic analysis — alpha-pinene (48.87%), 1,8-cineole (9.58%), camphor (3.78%), verbenone (4.01%) — hallmarks of a first-choice Provençal rosemary, recognised in aromatherapy for its toning, purifying and decongestant properties.

The alpha-pinene chemotype is the most widespread in Provence. Its fragrance is herbaceous, fresh and slightly resinous — immediately recognisable as the rosemary found on Mediterranean garrigue. More accessible and versatile than verbenone or camphor rosemary, it lends itself to many applications in diffusion, muscle care and home maintenance.

Presented in an amber glass bottle of 10 ml, fitted with a dropper and an adaptable spray for precise and versatile use.

Available at www.terraroma.fr with international delivery — and in our shops in Valensole, Gréoux-les-Bains and Avignon.

Use & Precautions

A toning and versatile essential oil

Atmospheric diffusion
Add 3 to 5 drops to a cold or gentle heat diffuser to purify and cleanse the air, stimulate concentration and create a fresh, invigorating atmosphere — ideal in a workspace or during periods of fatigue.

Muscle care
Diluted at 2-3% in a vegetable oil (sweet almond oil, jojoba oil), it can be applied by massage to tired or contracted muscles. Its composition rich in alpha-pinene and 1,8-cineole promotes muscular relaxation and a warming sensation.

Respiratory wellbeing
A few drops on a handkerchief or in a bowl of hot water for a gentle inhalation, beneficial for congested airways during the winter months.

Home maintenance
A few drops in your homemade cleaning product for its purifying properties and natural herbaceous fragrance.
