One could also call the Myrtus communis the common myrtle, but that would be unfair. She is anything but common. In Germany, she is known as 'bridesmyrtle' and, woven into a wreath, has accompanied young women into marriage for centuries. She symbolizes vitality and fertility, but also comfort. Perhaps because the brides left their families for a new life? The oil of this Corsican myrtle has a fresh, green, floral, and spicy odour.
