Botanical Origin of Key Components

Melrose's formulation is built from pure essential oils, each with a specific botanical origin contributing to its olfactory profile and inherent qualities:

• Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia): Native to Australia, tea tree oil is extracted from the leaves by steam distillation. It is known for its fresh, medicinal, and penetrating aroma.
• Niaouli (Melaleuca viridiflora): Also belonging to the Melaleuca genus, niaouli comes from New Caledonia and Australia. Its oil, distilled from the leaves, offers an aroma similar to eucalyptus, fresh and slightly sweet.
• Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis): This perennial aromatic herb is native to the Mediterranean region. Rosemary essential oil, obtained by steam distillation from its flowers and leaves, has a fresh, herbaceous, and stimulating aroma.
• Clove (Eugenia caryophyllata): Originating from Southeast Asia, clove oil is extracted from dried flower buds. Its aroma is warm, sweet, and spicy, with potent undertones.

Main Chemical Composition

The synergy of Melrose emerges from the combination of chemical compounds present in each of its constituent oils. While the exact proportion is Young Living's proprietary formula, the predominant bioactive components in its individual oils include:

• Terpinen-4-ol and γ-terpinene: Main components of Tea Tree oil, known for their refreshing and purifying properties.
• Eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) and α-pinene: Abundant in Niaouli oil, they impart its fresh and penetrating character. Eucalyptol is also present in rosemary.
• 1,8-Cineole, α-pinene, and camphor: The most common chemotypes of Rosemary oil, responsible for its herbaceous and invigorating aroma.
• Eugenol: The major component of Clove oil, known for its warm and spicy aroma.

The combination of these compounds creates a complex and balanced chemical profile, supporting the aromatic and usage characteristics of the original Melrose blend.

Aromatic Profile

Melrose offers a unique and multifaceted aromatic profile:

• Top notes: Fresh and clean, dominated by the vibrancy of tea tree and niaouli, with a slightly medicinal and camphoraceous nuance.
• Heart notes: Transition to a more herbaceous and aromatic character, contributed by rosemary, introducing a toning and rustic feel.
• Base notes: A subtle but warm spicy nuance emerges from the clove, anchoring the fragrance and adding depth.

Overall, the fragrance is clean, herbaceous, and uplifting, with a discreet warmth that lingers. It is an aroma that can evoke a sense of cleanliness, well-being, and connection with nature.
