Over the years one becomes attached to certain essential
oils……and this was certainly the case with my basic set of middle notes; Clary
Sage, Geranium and Ylang Ylang……I have had a particular affection for the Clary
Sage we have been purchasing for years, and you can see it popping up in a few
of our products.
Clary Sage is the sweetheart of essential oils for its
calming, revitalizing, and balancing properties. I have always kept a small
bottle on my desk for those moments that I required its calming properties. It
is an interesting fragrance that has bright, earthy and herbaceous top note
that progresses to a very warm, balsamic, dryout note that is perhaps a bit
medicinal like Rosemary) with an ever so faint anise note.
But now no more of my familiar Clary Sage….our supplier has
switched to French traditional Clary Sage oil that is quite different to the
one I have become accustomed to over many years. Our new Clary Sage comes from the
Société Coopérative Agricole des Plantes à Parfum de Provence, located in
Simiane La Rotonde, France.
This Clary Sage is grown in an area between the Vaucluse
and Alptes-de-Hautes-Provences in France.
We have now incorporated this new Clary
Sage into a few recent production batches of our Tropical Flower Shampoo, and
the result is nice…..so no need to worry about this change in supply of Clary
Sage. I can now rest easy!!!

Dr. Mike
