Ulje timijana
Hot, herbaceous-phenolic with a sharp, almost medicinal bite. Thyme oil smells like a Provençal herb garden in high summer — pungent, warm, assertively aromatic.

Miris
Detaljno
Zanimljivosti
The word 'thyme' derives from the Greek 'thymos,' meaning courage. Greek soldiers bathed in thyme water before battle for bravery, and Roman soldiers exchanged sprigs of thyme as a sign of mutual respect. The antimicrobial properties of thymol — thyme's key molecule — were not scientifically confirmed until 1850.

U parfemima
Herbal modifier in aromatic, fougère, and Mediterranean compositions. The linalool chemotype is preferred for fine fragrance — it provides sweet herbal character without phenolic aggression. The thymol type is used in functional products and at trace levels in fine fragrance where genuine 'hot herb' character is needed. Both work with lavender, rosemary, and aromatic compositions.
