The only thing I smell is a jar of pickels with dill. Will be a tricky thing to figure out how to use it in a perfume composition...

At first glance this is unmistakably basil, like burying your nose in the plant itself. Fresh, vibrant, and alive! But there's so much more going on beneath that; as it dries down, woody notes appear, like freshly snapped tree branches, along with something geranium-like, minty and floral. And underneath that, grapefruit! Dry and pithy like fresh-zested rind, and unambiguously citric. This oil is a culinary explosion, bringing to mind fresh summer salads and crushed mint mojitos, the smell of herbs wafting in on a warm breeze through a kitchen window. I imagine this would blend exquisitely with citrus oils to lend a light-green, airy herbal note without weighing down the fragrance.

This is nothing like the boring scent of culinary basil which is what ct Methyl Chavicol smells like. This is the scent of the live flowering shrub, with the intensely aromatic dark purple flowers. Superb.

A nice clean basil. A little goes a long way for my migrain headaches and sinus problems. Great stuff !!!

This basil is fabulous. It is very potent and mind-clearing. Use it sparingly for excellent results in perfumes, body care and skincare.
