Marjoram Sweet Leaf CO2 (SELECT)
Adam Michael has this to say ” This marjoram leaf CO2 (Origanum majorana) aka sweet marjoram is a woody perennial herb growing to 50cm with aromatic oval leaves and pinkish-white flowers, it takes an average of 55 kilos of raw material to produce 1 kilo of this Turkish grown stunner. The smell of this CO2 is outstanding, fresh, earthy green, sweet with a slight woody, pine and peppery nuance. So good, so absolutely world class, that we have now officially stopped offering marjoram essential oils as of the 27th June 2020.
Along with wild marjoram which is a bit of a nomenclature nightmare you find both are cultivated for their aerial parts and their essential oils. Marjoram leaf CO2 is considered as a highly valuable stimulant and antispasmodic. It can help relieve anxiety and headaches, and is useful for flatulence, colic and respiratory problems and has a stronger effect on the nervous system than wild marjoram.”

This is a 1ml little treasure I keep all to myself and I wish I’d ordered more before it sold out. In aromatherapy it tends to get forgotten about due to all the other fab knock out herbs.
To me it’s a beauty, understated, I find it very meditative – an aromatherapy tutor once said to me it helps those that can’t stop talking from talking, for me it helps reach a place of quiet solitude & stops my mind from racing, very grounding and peaceful and gently uplifting!
The CO2 is delicate fresh, interesting herbal, like a gingery mint, a little patchouli without being patchouli, heather flower, honey, gentle baking spices like nutmeg & all spice, pink pepper, I think a little mitti attar – clay/sandalwood, light vetiver! It feels full of heart! Quietly joyful!

A very spicy scent. Strong and dominant with a little menthol. For me it is a typical masculine fragrance.

I have been buying this CO2 from Hermitage for years, and continue to find new applications for its soothing spirit. At minute amounts, this will incorporate into both green and floral compositions while retaining its benevolent nature that nurtures the soul while delighting the nose.

A warm, smooth, sweetly-spiced and deeply pungent Marjoram. Instantly calming – it quietens the mind and brings about, at the same time, a dawning surprise at all the hitherto undiscovered nuances it holds. The humble marjoram hums with musty herbal mint, spearmint, herbaceous green, lavandin and woody herbal notes, also a little spicy and fruity in the dry-down; and all held together on a musty green minty herbal earth bed.
There is much to discover within its layers. It is also deeply nurturing and grounding. Ever so beautiful, I love to wear this on its own.

What a lovely herbal fragrance.
Another of my Top 25 picks on this site…this CO2 extract is sophisticated, fancy…a little bit goes a long way. This substance has the potential to overpower a composition, so moderation is key. I use this Marjoram sparingly to add a layer of herbal complexity to a mixture…this multi-faceted, beautiful substance was made to be used in perfume.

Someone else said “instantly calming,” and that is correct. Round, smooth, warm. This is unlike most scents encountered in everyday life and deserves to be the star of a composition. I bought it to have around a friend who has anxiety. I would pair this with supporting notes of a green and musky nature.
