Description

Basil Oil is a fresh and aromatic essential oil with a distinctive green, herbal and spicy character. Its lively botanical profile can bring freshness and natural complexity to fragrance compositions.

It combines green, herbaceous, slightly spicy, sweet and aromatic facets, creating a clean and invigorating impression. Depending on the basil oil profile, subtle anise-like or clove-like nuances may also contribute to its character.

Basil Oil is particularly useful in aromatic, herbal, green, fresh, citrus and fougère fragrances. It works well as a bright top or heart note and can create an effective bridge between sparkling citrus materials and deeper woody or spicy notes.

Perfumers' Tip

Basil Oil is excellent for creating a fresh, green and energetic herbal opening. Combine it with Lemon, Bergamot and Petitgrain for a bright citrus-herbal accord, or pair it with Rosemary, Clary Sage and Lavender for a sophisticated aromatic composition.

For a fresh spicy fragrance, try Basil Oil + Cardamom + Black Pepper + Bergamot + Cedarwood. Vetiver and Patchouli can provide earthy depth, while soft musks create a clean and smooth drydown.
