Overview

Cannabis (Hemp) Essential Oil

(PLEASE NOTE: we are unable to ship this product internationally)

Our Cannabis (Hemp) essential oil from Italy has a strongly herbaceous, earthy, effervescent green aroma with a slightly bitter high note and a clean herbal body note. It is increasingly being used in natural perfumery for its unique and very tenacious odor character and its long herbaceous drydown. While there is limited information regarding its use in perfumery, there is evidence in the perfume blogs as well as the industry that the pronounced aroma of Cannabis tends to be the dominant note in the compositions in which it is used, especially into the drydown. Accordingly, in our 'May Blend Well With' section near the bottom of this page, we offer the oils we think will harmonize with Cannabis essential oil.

PLEASE NOTE: This oil is 100% pure and natural and appropriate for use in Aromatherapy and Natural Perfumery per our website and Certificate of Analysis (COA). 

Those who may be hesitant to use steam distilled Cannabis (Hemp) essential oil should know that CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) are considered non-volatiles and do not appear in the essential oil.1 To verify, our in-house GC/MS analysis found no THC or CBD present in our current lot. The peculiar odor of Cannabis is not generated by these cannabinoids of low volatility, but from over one hundred terpenoid compounds that are thought to interact synergistically. Even in low concentrations, many of these terpenoids, such as citronellol and α-terpineol, are beneficial in aromatherapy applications. Franchomme and Pénoël note that Cannabis essential oil has no known contraindications.2

For those who wish to know botanical specifics, this French variety, “Futura 75”, is a monoecious plant that bears both male and female flowers, and reaches a height of 2-3 meters.3

With so much to say about this plant - the molecules that compose it, and its legends and lore - we'll leave it to you to discover the magic Cannabis essential oil can add to your creations.

Outstanding Unusual Exquisite Review by

Made a green perfumer alcohol based perfume (Vetiver base with mixed floral middle) this Cannabis EO is absolutely marvelous. Added this as the very last ingredient once the perfume is 99% together and am satisfied with it. I also add EdenBotanicals Green Cognac together with their Cannabis EO as top note combo. This last addition sits on top of lemon/orange/yuzu top notes. In my humble opinion the Cannabis/Green Cognac combo blends all the citrus top notes into a cohesive and very luscious green whole top note entity. It lends a very mysterious intriguing top note. Deepens the lemon, mellows the yuzu, folds in the orange, and adds the mystery of the Cannabis and Green Cognac all beautifully blended together. You do not need very much. A light hand is best imho.

Check the COA Prior To Review Review by

I read a lot of the reviews for this before purchasing and was equally surprised to find that this material doesn't last long in a blend at all and is easily overpowered.

I'm still very pleased with aroma and believe that it can be manipulated to last longer in a blend, but I wish I had of read the COA prior and would invite all to do the same.

Upon analysis of the COA you'll find that this material is mainly comprised of very volatile top notes with very few heart-base notes at all. This explains why it doesn't last very long and why the material easily get's, "swallowed" up by others in a blend.

If you are not opposed to using aroma molecules in your structure and you want to extend the cannabis oil in your blend I would suggest purchasing caryophyllene acetate and cineole and adding them to the material to extend it's spicy/wood heart and possibly trace amounts of rosemary absolute.

I would also suggest that you do not use many other top notes with this blend unless to accentuate the existing citrus notes already present in the cannabis oil.

I'll be building an accord using the material and the other chemicals that are present in it, but it is good practice to read the Certificate of Analysis that Eden provides for each material before you purchase it so you have some working knowledge of how it will perform.

This does smell of the real thing to me but more like a fresh bud, my wife didn't think so but she has probably just smelled it burning. adds a nice top note to woody blends and a natural dirty green to florals although i need much more time to play with this one. potent to say the least turned 1ml into 5 ml 20% and its plenty.

Marvelous addition to pain blend Review by

I had an eo pain blend that I had made waiting for me to use for the first time today~ so I added it to carrier oil and applied to calm down some rather intense menstrual cramps and.... barely anything. Desperate not to have to take ibuprofen as was my norm before, and really wanting to go the natural route~ I rummaged thru my sample-heavy collection of oils and came across the last 2 drops of this cannabis still in its sample container. Not thinking it would help that much~ especially for just 2 small drops in a 1/2 oz container of pain blend~ I thought it couldn’t hurt... well I tell you, and this is no exaggeration, the effect was IMMEDIATE.... no more heat, no more tenseness, no more searing pain~ I felt relaxed and incredibly soothed, I am still in shock right now after applying it for the second time (after many hours, as the effects have stood the entire day almost)~ I can’t believe how it has relieved this pain in my body so quickly. It is truly heaven scent (it smells so good in my blend) AND heaven sent, and I am so glad EB has this as an offering. I am back on the site for a bigger bottle and know I will never be without :)

Do yourself a favor.... blend this with the best rose you can get your hot little hands on. Holy WOW. Adds a depth and a dirt to rose that is just pure heaven. I used a few drops of this in a blend of Moroccan rose and sandalwood (NC) and it is absolutely killer. I wasn't quite sure how to use it until I allowed my nose to sample the two vials next to each other... and it's perfect. Floral, heady, incense, smoke.

Great top note, at a price Review by
Rating

Four stars for what it is, a super top note. While quite distinct and recalls my college days, I found that the characteristic smell of cannabis in this particular oil is an ultra-short top note, even moreso than the citruses. While some darker shades do extend into the mids, after two minutes you are no longer wearing what anyone would term a cannabis-based fragrance. This is especially true if combined with other green notes such as galbanum and tomato leaf, which can easily overwhelm it. But it doesn’t stand on its own, either, and that’s a problem. I cranked up the concentration to 8% (undiluted) in a green EdP concentrate I’m working on, and it was still gone within minutes even though I attempted to extend the cannabis further into the drydown.

A few years ago I experimented with cannabis from a different supplier, and it completely overwhelmed the blends, which is what I was expecting here. In fairness, that other hemp may have been psychoactive (tincture?).

Blends well (at high concentration) with tangerine eo, pink/black peppers, frank, elemi, choya loban/birch tar/lap sou tea, cistus abs, cedars, sandalwood, sweet Thai oud, ambrette seed.

Note that this oil will cloud your blends (waxes), and I’m afraid that after freezing/filtering the characteristic scent will be deposited onto the filter paper vs remaining in the blend. Haven’t gotten that far yet, because at 8% (or higher) the cost of this in a commercially produced fragrance is prohibitive, so it’s unlikely I’ll ever find to time to test it further...but you never know.

This blew my mind upon seeing it even exists, even further when I had it in my hands and smelled it. The typical cannabis aroma remains, but is a subtler back-note, offering up its herbaceousness and spice up to the front. There is something like a cross between dill, black pepper, and pine to the scent. I very much look forward to experimenting with this oil for both its aromatic and purported medicinal value! Glad I took the leap and tried this one out.
