■ The oregano plant originates from sunny hills along the Mediterranean coast, where small purple to white flowers bloom from summer to autumn.
It has been used as a culinary herb since before the Common Era in Mediterranean countries such as Greece, Italy, Spain and Egypt, and is a historic herb that was included in Dioscorides' "Magnolias" (late 1st century).
The scientific name "Origanum" comes from the Greek words Orus (mountain) and Granus (joy), and vulgare means "common" or "widely distributed" in Latin.
Its Japanese name is "hanahakka" and it is also known as "wild marjoram."

When you smell it, the dry wind and blue sea of ​​southern Italy come to mind. It's the perfect herb for vacations and joy.
The scent explains why its scientific name means "Joy of the Mountains." When hiking in the mountains bordering the Mediterranean Sea, the scent of native plants will waft on the breeze.
Oregano may be an herb that grows vigorously in dry, calcareous soil.

Even today, it is loved as an essential herb in Italian cuisine, along with basil, especially in pizza.
In Italian grocery stores, bouquets of dried oregano sprigs are sold alongside basil and rosemary.
It is a little different from the type you see in Japan, but it has an excellent fragrance. It is delicious when you squeeze oregano flowers onto bread and drizzle it with olive oil.
The aromatic compounds contained in oregano flowers and leaves not only enhance the flavor of food, but also contribute to our health and beauty.

■ Blending advice from Tree of Life perfumer Blending it with lavender essential oil, which is also from the mint family, creates a mellow woody scent.
