Sage
Salvia officinalis
Common sage is an aromatic plant of the Mediterranean basin, with velvety grey leaves. Its essential oil, distilled from the leaves, smells of dry herbs, camphor and wood. White sage, its Californian cousin, is traditionally burnt in bundles.
What it brings
A herbal, slightly camphorous freshness that gives relief to woody and fougère fragrances.
