Important Aroma Note

This is not St. John's Wort Essential Oil.

Because this product is produced through an enfleurage-style lipid extraction rather than conventional steam distillation, its aroma is softer and more botanical than a typical essential oil.

Natural variations in aroma, color, and intensity may occur between harvests and batches.Applications

Perfumery

For subtle medicinal-herbal hearts, smooth fruity accents and botanical aromatic structures.

Incense & Aromatic Products

For historical or solar-inspired scent concepts without mood-disorder or medicinal claims.

Product Development

Requires especially clear material naming so customers do not confuse the distillate with infused red oil or oral Hypericum extracts.
