Botanical informations

Botanical name :

Hyssopus officinalis L.
Synonyms : Thymus hyssopus E.H.L.Krause // Dracocephalum officinalis (L.) Y.P.Chen & B.T.Drew.

Botanical profile :

Hyssop is a perennial shrub belonging to the Lamiaceae family (as Patchouli EO or Spearmint EO for example), and of the genus Hyssopus L.

Chemotypes :

Hyssopus officinalis L. is the only species from the genus Hyssopus L. cultivated for its olfactory interest.
Nevertheless, it comprises three major varieties :
- Hyssopus officinalis subsp. officinalis, whose composition varies according to its country of origin - in ex-Yugoslavia, its composition is rich in Methyl Eugenol and D-Limonene; in Spain, it is rich in Eucalyptol; moreover, it is mainly composed of iso-pinocamphones.
- Hyssopus officinalis subsp. canescens, grown in the south of the Alps, rich in Eucalyptol and Linalool.
- Hyssopus officinalis subsp. aristatus, grown in Bulgaria and Spain, rich in Eucalyptol and iso-pinocamphones.

Extractions & Uses

Extraction process :

Hyssop grows in fairly dry, well-drained soil. Propagation of the plants is done by sowing seeds during spring, or by cutting old clumps, always during this season. Usually, the first plants appear in autumn, a few months after planting. It can be directly cultivated.
As the essential oil is mainly contained in the leaves, the stems are cut manually in the morning at their base when the flowers are open to three quarters of their potential. The plants are then left to dry before extraction.
Extraction is carried out in a distillation tank, under steam pressure. The essential oil is recovered by settling over the water in a Florentine vase, after cooling the vapours.
Yield for hyssop essential oil is of 0,15%. This can explain the price of this oil.

Uses in perfumery :

Used in lavender and lavandin accords, to give a natural effect, in small quantities. Also brings a hay and warm side to fougere-type perfumes.

Stability :

Terpenes found in this oil may polymerize under a strong oxydation.

Pinocamphone (8 - 25%)

D-germacrene (1,2 - 4,5%)

Other comments :

The iso-pinocamphones in this essential oil are neurotoxic. This explains why hyssop essential oil is almost exclusively used in perfumery, in small quantities.
