Aroma Chemistry

Sweet Basil essential oil contains a well-balanced mix of aromatic compounds:

• Linalool: the main aroma molecule, giving this chemotype its soft, sweet, floral-herbal character
• Estragole (Methyl Chavicol): adds a sweet, anise-like note (use in moderation)
• 1,8-Cineole: contributes a fresh, cool, camphoraceous lift
• Eugenol: adds a subtle warm, clove-like spice

Together these components give Sweet Basil its fresh, sweet and uplifting aroma.
