Thyme Oil

Thyme Oil – Steam-Distilled Thymus vulgaris Essential Oil

Thyme Oil is steam distilled from the flowering aerial parts of Thymus vulgaris. It has a powerful, warm and herbaceous aroma with spicy, phenolic and mildly woody undertones.

Because Thyme Oil has an intense character, it is generally used in small quantities in professional aromatic, fragrance and personal-care formulations. Its strong herbal profile can add warmth and depth to fresh, spicy, green and medicinal-style fragrance compositions.

Aroma Profile

Thyme Oil opens with a sharp, warm and distinctly herbal note. Its middle develops spicy and phenolic facets, followed by a dry, slightly woody finish.

The exact aroma and chemical composition can vary considerably according to the plant’s chemotype, geographical origin, harvesting conditions and distillation batch.

Common Applications

• Soaps and rinse-off personal-care products

• Room and garden fresheners

• Scented candles and incense

• Herbal fragrance compositions

• Diffuser and aromatic blends

• Cosmetic formulations developed by professionals

• Industrial cleaning-product fragrances

• Professional fragrance development

This product should not be promoted as diagnosing, preventing, treating or curing any disease. Medicinal use requires an appropriately licensed and specifically formulated finished product.

Blending Suggestions

Thyme Oil blends well with Lavender, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Lemon, Bergamot, Cedarwood and other herbal, citrus or woody materials. Its powerful aroma can dominate a blend, so formulators should begin with a very small trial quantity.

Chemotype and Composition

Thymus vulgaris can produce different chemotypes, including thymol-, carvacrol-, linalool- and other constituent-dominant profiles. Therefore, a general product description cannot guarantee a particular composition.

The constituent profile may include thymol, carvacrol, p-cymene, linalool, borneol, pinene and related compounds, but their percentages vary between batches. Buyers requiring a specific chemotype or constituent range should review the Certificate of Analysis and GC-MS report before ordering.
