Elevation dōTERRA Essential Oil Blend | 15 ml

Its name comes from the Latin clarus, clear: its seeds were once used to cleanse the eye. A tall plant with mauve flowers, it yields an oil rich in linalyl acetate, herbaceous and faintly nutty. It gives the blend structure without hardening its character.

Harvested in sustainably managed Hawaiian forests, this tree needs decades before it can be distilled. Its santalols give a creamy, velvety scent with remarkable staying power. It is what gives the blend its depth and its length.

The best-known oil in the world, and probably the oldest: the Romans already scented their baths with it, which is where its name comes from. Its linalool and linalyl acetate form that soft floral aroma, recognisable at once. It is the heart of every blend it enters.

Also known as lemon balm for its smell, it is one of the hardest oils to produce: close to three tonnes of leaves go into a single kilo of oil. Its scent is lemony and honeyed, unusually soft. Its rarity makes it a precious ingredient.
