A rich and colorful narrative surrounds the history of sage (Salvia officinalis).
It is a member of the mint family as are woody rosemary, spicy thyme, mellow lavender, oregano and green, herbal basil.
Originating in the Mediterranean region of the world, historians cannot pinpoint exactly when sage first appeared. It is known, however, that the ancient world relied heavily on sage as a traditional herbal remedy.
Records (the Ebers Papyrus from 1500 BC) do indicate that the Egyptians used sage to treat fertility, stomach ailments; toothaches, itching and asthma. Ancient Greeks and Romans followed suit as well as native American and Chinese cultures.
Down through time, sage has been known for both its medicinal and culinary uses. It was highly prized by the French who once grew enormous sage crops for tea.
The Chinese traded four pounds of their varieties for one pounds of sage tea, and during the Middle Ages, monks were known to grow 16 diverse herbs to treat various medical conditions and sage was among them.
The answer lies in the chemicals inside the leaves and stems of the sage plant that retain essential oils (monoterpines) and other substances.
There are so many varieties of sage found all over the world, and each contains differing amounts of the same chemicals.
Monoterpenes render essential oils many of their anti-bacterial, anti-viral and antiseptic properties.
These compounds also serve as effective air purifiers sand deodorizers.
Sage is a sensual, earthy aroma with crisp, green herbal facets that is often found in an endless array of fragrances.
Sage symbolizes several concepts. It represents wisdom, intelligence, and experience. It has five distinct powers.
These include: empathy; exploration; innovation; navigation and activation, which are applicable to all aspects of life.
As a green herbal element, it harnesses the properties of green; namely, harmony; nature, and freshness.
The ritual of sage burning derives from Native American tradition, particularly the Cheyenne, Navaho and Lakota tribes, where it was considered a remedy to promote healing, dispel negative energy and evil spirits and cleanse an environment.
It is known to release negative ions, improve clarity and increase spiritual awareness. The tradition of burning sage prevails to this day.
The fragrance of sage is energizing, sensual and known to placate negative thoughts and energy.
It is balancing and stimulating to both mind and body with its slightly minty nuances and earthy nature, and its warmth is both grounding and purifying, and most often found in the masculine fragrances.
The essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves, which are known to add a peppery freshness to some women’s scents as well.
Sage’s aromatic, woody and spicy aspects lend a distinct and unique character to any finished scent.
While there are more than 900 varieties of sage, there are just three that are utilized in most scent formulations. These include:
Bergamot Sage
Somewhat sweeter than other sage varieties and known to effectively reduce stress and anxiety, aromatic, fig-nuanced and green bergamot sage is a favored choice for candles and many personal care products.
Clary Sage
Herbal and green, this category of sage blends well with sugary, musty scents. It forms an aromatic compound that is serene, calming and mellow. It is a popular choice for perfumes and scented personal care products because it serves as a fine fixative.
White Sage
Known to enhance mood and improve memory loss, this variant is sensual, intense and cleansing. Its balanced, herby and sugary scent is a favorite in many unisex fragrances.
