View full details

Salvia triloba is often taken as a substitute for common sage. The two differ in chemistry. Salvia officinalis is characterised by thujones. Salvia triloba, Greek or three-lobed sage, now usually named Salvia fruticosa, is led by 1,8-cineole.

01 · Origin

An aromatic shrub of the eastern Mediterranean, growing wild on rocky slopes in Greece, Turkey and the Levant. This oil is distilled from the leaves of wild plants in Turkey.

02 · Chemistry

1,8-cineole is the leading component. Beta-pinene and alpha-pinene give a resinous lift, with myrcene in smaller proportion. Thujones, which dominate common sage, are not among the main constituents. The result is a fresher, more camphoraceous oil.

03 · In Practice

Fresh, herbaceous and camphoraceous, with a clean, slightly sweet finish. A top note. For diffusion, bath preparations and massage oils. Comparison with Sage (No. 2640) and Sage, Clary (No. 2665) shows how different three oils under one common name can be. Blends with rosemary, lavender, lemon, eucalyptus, pine, bergamot and juniper.
