The mighty shrubs of laurel have been with the mankind for a long time. The name itself says a lot about plant’s qualities -‘Laurus’ means fame. The plant had been highly esteemed by ancient healers, and its reputation only increased in the middle ages, when it was attributed the ability to repel evil. To that end, people planted it next to front doors of their houses.
Laurel is collected by hand in the pristine nature of Dalmatia. In densely grown, rugged Dalmatian forests it hides among trees. His leather-like leaves yield scent only when we crush them. Therefore, when preparing for distillation, it is necessary to cut each leave at least once, otherwise they keep their noble content to themselves.
Already smelling laurel makes us understand why it has always been associated with nobility and why laurel wreaths had been decorating the winners. The smell is very aromatic, warm and sweet. It boosts our self-esteem and makes us want to surpass our limits.
