Bio Spikenard Essential Oil is a precious aromatic oil steam distilled from the roots and rhizomes of Nardostachys jatamansi, a revered Himalayan botanical known for its deep, grounding, earthy aroma.
This oil carries a distinctive profile: rich, musky, rooty, woody, slightly sweet, and balsamic, with an ancient incense-like character. In aromatherapy and natural perfumery, Spikenard is treasured as a meditative base note, often used in calming rituals, grounding blends, spiritual perfumes, anointing oils, and evening aromatic compositions.
Its aroma is intense, complex, and long-lasting, making it especially valuable in small amounts for deep botanical blends.
