## About this gift

Peppermint essential oil, 50 ml of Mentha piperita steam distilled from the flowering herb, is a gift for oil collectors and anyone fascinated by plant history. It suits scent lovers and hobbyists alike.

Greek myth gives peppermint a story: a nymph called Mentha was turned into a mint plant. Peppermint is native to the Mediterranean, and it has been used since ancient times in Egypt, Greece, Rome, China and Japan. According to Pliny, it crowned Greeks and Romans at feasts.
