Mild thyme refers to chemistry rather than strength of scent. The thujanol chemotype of Thymus vulgaris carries no meaningful phenol fraction, and its profile is built on monoterpene alcohols. It is often confused with the linalool type, which shares its softness but not its leading constituent.
01 · Origin
Thymus vulgaris is a low shrub of dry Mediterranean garrigue. Each chemotype is a population of plants indistinguishable to the eye, separated only by the oil they produce. This oil is distilled in France from the flowering herb.
02 · Chemistry
Cis- and trans-thujanol lead. Linalool and terpinen-4-ol follow. Thujanol should not be confused with thujone. The names are close, but thujanol is an alcohol and thujone a ketone.
03 · In Practice
Fresh, sweet and herbaceous, with a soft green warmth. A middle note. Diffusion, massage blends, bath preparations and skincare formulation. Blends with lavender, tea tree, rosemary, marjoram, lemon and eucalyptus.
General information: For external use only. Dilute before applying to skin. Keep away from heat and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
