Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis, oil has a strong, minty, herbaceous scent. The name is derived from the Latin word Rosmarinus, which means “dew of the sea."

In ancient Greece statues were decorated with rosemary wreaths and students wore rosemary in their hair while studying--they believed it strengthened their memory.
