Wellness Support: Basil essential oil is a very effective psychological support as it is uplifting. It is excellent for use during winter or low-ligh months, or for an early morning stimulant blend when fatigue is a problem.
Perfumery: Basil has a very high intensity and is considered a top note. It has an uplifting, fresh, penetrating, slightly green fragrance with a faint balsamic, woody undertone and a lasting sweetness.
Oils That Blend Well With Basil: Basil oil's intense aroma blends well with bergamot, clary sage, geranium, lime, rosemary, and sweet orange.
