Red myrtle, variety tarentina, is a qualitative distinction in the Mediterranean aromatic world. More concentrated in aromatic molecules with woody-resinous and fresh notes, it is valued for cosmetic and wellness creations seeking an energetic, aromatic, and structured facet. Its olfactory identity is more pronounced and tonic than that of traditional green myrtle.
