    Botanical name :

    Myrtus communis L.
    Synonyms : Myrtus boetica Mill. // Myrtus buxifolia Raf.

    Botanical profile :

    Myrtle is a shrub belonging to the Myrtaceae family (such as clove, eucalyptus or pepper) and to the genus myrtus.

    Chemotypes :

    Two chemotypes exist,
    One with Eucalyptol (Green Myrtle HE) - Available in Tunisia, France (Corsica) and Lebanon
    The other with Myrtenyl Acetate (Red Myrtle HE) - Available in Morocco and Yugoslavia

    Beware, the name Lemon Myrtle does not botanically correspond to a species of the genus Myrtus, but rather to Backhousia citriodora. (Still in the Myrtaceae but nothing to do with Myrtus)

    Extraction process :

    This essential oil is obtained through hydrodistillation of the branches and twigs of the shrub. These are harvested between May and June of each year.
    The extraction process results in a yield between 2 and 3% (about 1kg of EO for 800kg of plants) for a duration of about 1h30.
    Myrtle essential oil needs to be rectified.
    Hydrolat possible, used especially in aromatherapy.

    Other comments :

    Myrtus was the Latin name, derived from the Greek ''murtos '', which in turn was derived from ''myron '', meaning “perfume.”
