Botanical source

Another wild chemotype of Origanum majorana. Markedly different from both sweet marjoram and wild carvacrol CT.

Aroma closer to lavender than traditional marjoram, due to dominant linalool.

Family Lamiaceae.


Notes

Limited production. Largely a byproduct of wild marjoram collection.
