Description
Sweet Basil Essential Oil (Ocimum basilicum L. ct Linalool)
Sweet Basil Essential Oil is a pure natural aromatic prepared from Ocimum basilicum L. ct Linalool. This essential oil is selected for its distinctive aromatic profile: fresh herbaceous, green, lightly spicy. The material is offered for perfumery, blending, aromatherapy, and botanical craft where clarity, character, and natural origin matter.
Sweet Basil Essential Oil is chosen for blends that need botanical nuance and a clear natural profile. It can be used to shape fragrance accords, add character to aromatherapy blends, and bring depth to oil-based formulations.
The aroma is fresh herbaceous, green, lightly spicy. As with all natural aromatics, small changes in colour, scent, and viscosity may occur between batches.
This material is supplied for external use only. Always dilute before skin application, patch test first, and follow appropriate formulation guidance.

For perfumery, this material can support floral, citrus, resin, herb, wood, or spice accords depending on the style of the blend. For topical products, follow safe dilution guidance and avoid undiluted skin contact.
