White Dalmatian Sage (Salvia officinalis, Family: Lamiaceae), also called Garden Sage or True Sage, is a steam-distilled essential oil from Hungary. Strong and camphoraceous, it is food safe only in very small amounts due to its thujone content.
Aroma
Strong, herbal, and camphor-like with a sharp, refreshing profile.
Traditional Use
Sage has long been used in European herbal traditions for culinary, cleansing, and ritual purposes, as well as in folk remedies for clarity and purification.
Benefits
It supports respiratory wellness, cleansing blends, and serves as a strong aromatic note in perfumery.
How to Prepare & Use
Diffuse: Add 1–3 drops in blends for a sharp, clarifying scent.
Topical: Dilute well (under 1%) in a carrier oil for external use.
Culinary: Food safe only in trace amounts, typically for professional flavoring.
Storage Tip
Store tightly sealed in a cool, dark place.
Safety Note
Food safe in very small amounts. Contains thujone—use sparingly. Avoid during pregnancy and always dilute well before topical use.
