Basil Essential Oil contains 100% pure Ocimum basilicum oil, steam distilled from basil leaves. In aromatherapy, basil is commonly used when you want a room to feel brighter, sharper and more switched on. The scent is warm, green and spicy rather than sweet, so it can suit workspaces, kitchens and daytime blends where you want a bit more lift.

Because Basil Essential Oil is a single botanical oil, what you notice most is its clean herbal character. It blends well with citrus oils for freshness and with softer florals when you want to stop a blend from feeling too sugary. If you usually enjoy herb garden scents, this is the kind of oil that can add focus and definition.

What does Basil Essential Oil contain?
Basil Essential Oil contains pure basil oil only. There are no added fragrance notes, so the aroma comes from the basil plant itself.

What is basil oil commonly used for in aromatherapy?
Basil oil is often used in diffuser blends for a fresh, alert atmosphere. Many people reach for it when they want an herbal scent that feels energising rather than cosy.

Is Basil Essential Oil more herbal or more sweet?
It is much more herbal. You get a warm green spice note, not a dessert-like sweetness, which is useful if you want a cleaner and more savoury room scent.
