Pure Indigenous African Immortelle Helichrysum Essential Oil is steam-distilled from Helichrysum odoratissimum (Imphepho), a bushy perennial native to South Africa's coastal regions. Its warm, honeyed, herbaceous aroma is prized in aromatherapy for calm evenings, clear breathing moments, and space-clearing rituals.
♡ Why we love it: Softly sweet and herbal, it settles the senses and layers beautifully with citrus, resin, and wood notes for night-time blends.
Size: 10ml.

Oh the beauty of natures diversity expressed through Helichrysum ! This distillate is full bodied, juicy and healthy in its camphorous notes. It’s quite grounding and I like to use it alongside the Pure Indigenous Silverbush essential oil.
African Immortelle is one of the most interesting South African essential oils around and quite different to the distillates of other Helichrysum species.
From an organoleptic standpoint, the oil contains both animalic, slightly grassy and yellow-floral facets, a rather unique top-middle note that works well in Amber-Floral fragrances when paired with other top notes like Cedrat.
