"The essential oil [clary sage] steam distilled from the plant's herbs and flowers has traditionally been used in German muscatel wine, English beer, and Italian vermouth (as well as a perfume fixative) to exploit the heady effects and sensuous aroma of clary sage... clary sage is also a valuable ingredient in body care preparations, whereby it regulates skin and hair secretions and acts as a scalp stimulant."
~ Kate and Peter Damian, Scent and Psyche
"I discovered my love for clary, also known as clary sage, in the South of France. There I found myself in a huge, sun-drenched field of the clary plant – surrounded by myriad brilliant colors...I learned much later, through aromatherapy, that clary may indeed create euphoria... Like its cousin the opal stone, it is powerful, radiant, and puzzling. It regenerates energy and inspires both mind and spirit, with a little foolishness and risk thrown in."
~ Susanne Fischer Rizzi, Complete Aromatherapy Handbook: Essential Oils for Radiant Health
