Catnip Essential Oil is a soft, green, herbaceous oil steam distilled from the flowering tops of Nepeta cataria. Its aroma is gentle yet distinctive — lightly minty, subtly sweet, and softly earthy — creating a calming and balancing scent profile that feels fresh without sharpness.
While widely known botanically, Catnip Essential Oil is a more uncommon aromatic, prized for its mellow nature and ability to smooth and round out blends. It works beautifully where a quiet herbal note is needed to soften citrus, mint, or floral compositions.
Blends well with:
Chamomile Roman, Lavender, Lemon, Lemongrass, Lemon Myrtle, Lime, Mandarin, May Chang, Peppermint, Rosemary, Rose Geranium, Spearmint, and Ylang Ylang.
