Welcome back, scent-seekers and wellness wanderers!
By now, you’ve likely begun to see that essential oils are so much more than pleasant aromas in pretty bottles. They’re ancient messengers—whispers from nature herself—carrying with them stories of tradition, healing, and transformation.
In Part 1, we uncovered seven oils that dance with vitality and strength. In Part 2, we met oils with grounding, clarifying, and calming qualities. And now, in Part 3, we meet seven more botanicals, each with its own distinctive essence, energy, and origin.
From the spiritual calm of Lavender to the soul-soothing properties of Myrrh, these oils help us tap into nature’s own rhythm and rebalance our own. So, whether you’re looking for emotional support, physical rejuvenation, or simply something to lift your space, you’ll likely find a new favourite in today’s selection.
Let’s get into it.
-
Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis)
Hyssop’s scent is herbal and sharp (intensity 6) with a medium evaporation rate (65). It belongs to the Labiatae family, powered by Yang energy and guided by generous Jupiter.
Known historically as a purification herb, Hyssop sweeps through stagnant spaces — physical, mental, or emotional — leaving clarity and renewal in its wake.
-
Jasmine (Jasminum officinale / grandiflorum)
Jasmine’s rich, intoxicating fragrance carries a 7 in intensity and a slow evaporation rate (95). A proud member of the Jasminaceae family, Jasmine radiates Yang energy under bountiful Jupiter.
The essence of sensuality and joy, Jasmine opens the heart, boosts self-confidence, and invites you to revel in your own beauty — inside and out.
-
Juniper (Juniperus communis)
Crisp and clean, Juniper’s aroma carries a medium intensity (5) and evaporates quite quickly (rate 30). It belongs to the Coniferae family, ruled by expansive Jupiter and infused with Yang strength.
When life feels heavy or emotionally clogged, Juniper acts like an internal detox — flushing out negativity and inviting purification.
-
Lavender (Lavandula officinalis / angustifolia)
The classic darling, Lavender’s scent has a gentle intensity of 4 with a moderate evaporation rate (85). It thrives under the Labiatae family, buoyed by Yang energy and clever Mercury’s care.
Lavender is emotional first aid in a bottle. Whether it’s stress, insomnia, or heartbreak, Lavender wraps you in a nurturing embrace and says, “It’s going to be okay.”
-
Marjoram (Origanum marjorana)
Warm and herbaceous, Marjoram carries a medium intensity of 5 and evaporates moderately fast (rate 40). Another member of the Labiatae family, Marjoram hums with Yang energy under Mercury’s thoughtful rule.
Marjoram offers comfort for both body and soul. It’s famous for easing muscle tension, but its real magic lies in dissolving emotional grief and loneliness.
-
Melissa (Melissa officinalis)
Also known as Lemon Balm, Melissa’s odour intensity is a soft 4 (with some sources marking it as variable), and it evaporates relatively quickly (rate 17). A proud member of the Labiatae family, Melissa exudes a Yang energy blessed by Jupiter.
Melissa is liquid sunshine for your soul — it soothes anxiety, lifts depression, and infuses a zest for life even on the grayest of days. Think of it as hope in a bottle.
-
Myrrh (Commiphora myrrha / Balsamodendron myrrha)
The ancient mystic. Myrrh boasts a strong intensity of 7 and a very slow evaporation (close to 100). It belongs to the Burseraceae family, rich with Yang strength and ruled by the radiant Sun.
Myrrh is earthy, smoky, and deeply spiritual. It grounds restless souls, assists in meditation, and has been used since ancient Egypt for healing and embalming rituals. A true portal to the divine.

Closing Note: Essential Oils as Living Allies
Each of these seven oils brings its own personality, purpose, and poetry. They don't just sit on a shelf; they dance through our senses, awaken memories, ground us, uplift us, and sometimes—just sometimes—they help us find ourselves again.
Remember this: essential oils aren’t just products—they’re experiences. They are ancient whispers in modern times, helping us connect to something bigger, more natural, and profoundly personal.
As we prepare to explore the final part of our journey, take a moment to reflect on which of these oils spoke to you most. Was it the floral breeze of Neroli? The cooling clarity of Peppermint? Or the calming hush of Lavender? Trust your senses—they know more than you think.
