Overview

Organic Rosemary ct Verbenone Essential Oil

The fresh, balsamic, almost forest-like, cooling and at the same time warm aroma of our organic Rosemary ct Verbenone is, in a word, beautiful! The nuances of its finely balanced aroma can be attributed in part to traces of volatile nitrogen compounds of high odor intensity, occurring in concentrations from less than one part per billion to the parts per million range.1 A true example of the potency of the kingdom of plants and their essences – no wonder they elicit our grateful respect.

The designation of chemotypes (ct) of an essential oil is necessary when distinctly different chemical compositions of the same species are produced; due to their different compositions, these oils can be applied to varying purposes.2 In the aromatherapy market, Rosemary essential oil appears as one of three main chemotypes – cineole, camphor or verbenone – each of which has different applications. Oils listed simply as “Rosemary” are suspect for highly profitable adulteration.

The most commonly used chemotype is Rosemary cineole, a popular oil for invigorating massage oils, cleansing scalp blends, and for refreshing the senses in diffusers. Rosemary verbenone chemotype is meant for more specialty applications in clarifying skincare formulations and chest rubs.

Ketones in general and verbenone in particular are known solvents of minute molecular size. This Rosemary is best used sparingly for aromatherapy or applied topically after appropriate dilution.

Rosemary is a well-known herb native to the Mediterranean region, abundantly growing wild in Spain, France, Corsica, Italy, Sardinia, all states of the former Yugoslavia, Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, etc.2 The odor character of Rosemary oil varies according to where the plants grow (altitude and climate), what plant parts are distilled, and whether the plant material is fresh or dried when distilled.3  The plant was sacred to the ancient Greeks and Romans who used it as a symbol of regeneration and employed its aromatic qualities in incense.4

Fresh, lively, rosemary.

The best smelling rosemary I've found Review by
Rating

This rosemary ct. verbenone smells closer to fresh rosemary than any other version I’ve come across. It has an extremely pleasing scent which I find both comforting and nostalgic. The camphor content is actually higher than the cineole rosemary, which is strange, considering that the aroma smells less camphorous, or at least more "smooth" to me. It's possible that the alpha pinene, camphene, and boronyl acetate content are tempering the other components, making this rosemary smell more foresty, rich, herbal, and soft. I would buy this oil based on the COA alone (so many favorite terpenes & monoterpenes in one list!), however it’s very much worth sampling. The best way to experience these oils is with your nose, and this one takes the cake as far as rosemary oils go.

If you want a perfume-friendly herbal note, look no further! Like sweet marjoram and sweet basil, this is an ideal oil to use in colognes, sprays, and fine fragrances. It tempers florals, and blends beautifully with bergamot, black pepper, lemon, orange, clary sage absolute, tonka bean, rose, and lavender among many other oils.

didn't like it Review by

I had hoped that this would be similar to another rosemary that I purchased from another company and run out of.
That one had a deep rosemary scent with smoky overtones. In reading the reviews I had hoped it would live up to my expectations, unfortunately I found it very sharp in scent and not like fresh rosemary at all.

This is the best smelling rosemary I've ever experienced. It is so beautiful and faithful to the herb itself you can almost taste it! The truest rosemary oil you'll find without the harsh overtones some have. Just beautiful!

I add just a tiny bit to my shampoo and over the last 6 months I've noticed a huge amount of new growth. It seems like my hair is growing faster and longer too. It doesn't take much to make a big difference! My husband and I love the scent too.

I LOVE what this does for my skin! I add a drop to my weekly clay mask and it's a must have addition in my face cream. My skin looks young, fresh, and smooth. There is a very real and dramatic difference for the better when I use this essential oil vs. when I don't. Thank you for offering this vital ingredient!!!
