Melissa (Lemon Balm) Collection

About Melissa (Lemon Balm)

Melissa officinalis, also known as lemon balm, is a perennial herb in the mint family native to southern Europe and the Mediterranean. Its essential oil, steam-distilled from the leaves and flowering tops, offers a bright, citrusy aroma with soft floral and delicate herbal undertones - a scent profile that is both refreshing and subtly complex. Melissa has been cherished since antiquity for its calming, mood-brightening qualities, and its essential oil remains one of the more rare and precious in the aromatic world due to the small yield per harvest.

MONQ uses melissa to bring a delicate, luminous quality to its blends - a hint of citrus-floral brightness that lifts the spirit without overwhelming the senses. Its gentle nature makes it a perfect pairing for florals, light woods, and other Mediterranean herbs. Explore the MONQ blends below to experience how this rare, beautiful botanical shines in thoughtfully crafted aromatherapy.*
