INCI: Nardostachys jatamansi

Escentia Spikenard Pure Essential Oil (Nardostachys jatamansi) is a single-ingredient essential oil steam distilled from dried roots and stems, valued for its sweet, woody aroma and its grounding place in aromatherapy and body care blends. It is often chosen for bath oils, soaps, roll-on blends, and evening diffuser routines where a deeper, more settling scent is wanted. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use body oil or perfume, so it should always be properly diluted before skin use. Its rich, earthy character makes it especially appealing in calm, restorative-style blends.

♡ Why we love it: Spikenard has a beautifully deep, rooted aroma that makes a blend feel instantly more still and comforting. It is a lovely choice for makers who enjoy richer botanical scents and want something distinctive for bath, body, and winding-down rituals.
