Melissa Pure Essential Oil
Rare. Lemony.
Actually Melissa.
Melissa is one of the lowest-yield and most frequently imitated essential oils. Much of what is sold under its name is a blend of Lemongrass, Citronella or synthetic citral — bright enough, but botanically not the same thing.
Delune Melissa Pure Essential Oil is steam-distilled from Bulgarian Melissa officinalis leaves and flowers and quality-assured through PristiQuant™ — Delune’s exclusive system of more than 40 checks relating to species identity, chemical profile, dilution and potential adulteration.
Fresh lemon, soft herbs and a delicate floral-green finish make this precious oil more nuanced than its many impersonators.
Lemon balm. Not lemon-themed wishful thinking.
Why You’ll Love It
True Melissa aroma
Fresh lemon, gentle herbs and a delicate floral-green finish.
Naturally precious
A low-yield botanical intended to be used thoughtfully, usually by the drop.
Steam-distilled in Bulgaria
Distilled from genuine Melissa officinalis leaves and flowers.
PristiQuant™ assured
Checked for common substitute oils, synthetic citral, oxidation and dilution.
How to Use
A precious lemon-herbal oil for restrained diffusion and carefully diluted personal rituals.
Diffuser
Use 1–3 drops alone or within a larger blend. Its beauty is in the nuance, not brute force.
Create a blend
Pair with Lavender for softness, Bergamot for brightness or Frankincense for depth.
Personal ritual
Add one drop to an aroma stone near a reading chair, desk or evening ritual space.
Skin & body rituals
Use only at a low dilution in a suitable carrier oil and patch-test carefully before first use.
Usage tip: Melissa is expensive because the plant yields very little oil. One drop is not stinginess; it is good taste and basic economics.

Aroma
Fresh lemon · soft herbs · delicate floral-green finish
Melissa essential oil is distilled from the leaves and flowers of lemon balm. Its naturally complex citral, citronellal and floral constituents create a softer, more dimensional profile than Lemongrass or synthetic lemon fragrance.
Natural differences between harvests are expected and reflect the plant, weather and distillation conditions.

Every batch is assessed through Delune’s exclusive PristiQuant™ protocol, with more than 40 checks relating to Melissa identity, characteristic chemical profile, oxidation, common substitute oils, synthetic citral and intentional dilution.
