It is a fragrance that Aphrodite presented to people to remind them of her beauty. The scientific name of marjoram is a combination of the Greek words oros, which means "mountain," and ganos, which means "joy." Together, it means the "joy of the mountain." Marjoram offers pleasant relaxation like a breeze blowing lightly on the hill in the late afternoon. The warm, grassy scent of marjoram delivers comfort and firm stability to the stiff body and mind.
