ORIGANUM OIL
Thymus capitatus
Spanish Origanum Oil is a dark brownish red or grayish red or purple to dark orange liquid, possessing a strong, tar like, herbaceous, but very refreshing odor. The topnote is slightly green camphoraceous, herbaceous and the body is rich, dry woody, somewhat reminiscent of cade and phenols. On drying out, the odor becomes sweeter, but remains phenolic dry and woody.
The oil is used in perfumery for its powerful refreshing notes and its spicy herbaceous effect. The medicinal note is often utilized in soap perfumes of the medicated type where this type of odor agrees with the special purpose of the soap. The main constituent of origanum oil is carvacol and will discolor in the presence of iron and it is also strongly affected by alkali. However, the oil is effective in soap perfumes, provided the soapbase is of low alkalinity (high PH).
