Living Libations Spikenard Essential Oil is a luxurious, earthy, and musky oil distilled from the rhizomes of the Nepalese Nard, also known as Muskroot. Wild-harvested and steeped in centuries of tradition, Spikenard has been prized since ancient Egypt, Rome, and Ayurveda for its restorative, balancing, and spiritually uplifting properties.
Renowned for its woody, musky, and slightly pungent root aroma, Spikenard evokes a sense of devotion, calm, and inner grounding. It is also celebrated as a skin tonic for dry, mature, or wisdom-rich skin, supporting balance and rejuvenation. In natural perfumery, Spikenard serves as an exceptional fixative and base note, enhancing complex aromatic blends.
