Overview

Rosemary ct Cineole Essential Oil

Our vibrant Rosemary ct Cineole has a strong, fresh, smooth yet diffusive, woody-herbaceous aroma with a somewhat minty-green back note becoming a clean, woody-balsamic body note in the dry down. This is a very fine, complex, aromatic oil! Salvia rosmarinus essential oils are routinely adulterated or diluted with inexpensive and abundant sources of camphor and 1,8-cineole, and this is one of the reasons why we have an analysis of the oil on hand – quality can only be assured by producers who make the oils exclusively for the aromatherapy market and whose oils command an appropriate and realistic price.1

Rosemary is a well known herb native to the Mediterranean region, abundantly growing wild in Spain, France, Corsica, Italy, Sardinia, Russia, Turkey, the Middle East, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, etc.2 The odor character and constituent profile 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 Rosemary was sacred to the ancient Greeks and Romans who used it as a symbol of renewal and employed its aromatic qualities in incense.4 Even Shakespeare alluded to the reverence for the plant when he claimed, in the words of Hamlet’s Ophelia, “There’s Rosemary, that’s for remembrance.”

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. In the aromatherapy market, Rosemary essential oil will appear 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 cineole chemotype of Rosemary is the version we recommend most frequently. The aroma of Rosemary ct Cineole is suitable in enlivening massage and diffuser blends, in a diffuser while studying or at work, and in scalp and hair preparations. The verbenone chemotype is meant for more specialty applications in skincare formulations and chest rubs.

Great fragrance for big rooms Review by

This stuff really spreads out nice when diffused. My parents ending up borrowing it to cover up some new puppy smells from housebreaking. Works very well and I believe puts people in a more talkative and stimulating mood. Highly recommend for kitchen and kitchen/living room combos.

Aaah, my favorite herb! Review by

I've always loved rosemary in cooking, and the smell of it in gardens so I'm quite happy to be able to use it in fragrance and medicine as well! This oil performs admirably in both roles. The Cineole version smells beautiful! A little overwhelming if you smell it from the bottle in high concentration, but you can smell the rosemary element better in dilution.

Best Rosemary I've Used Review by

I use the cineole type of rosemary for ointments and salves, and it has never disappointed me. Does a great job diluted in a salve for bruises. The odor is very rejuvenating and uplifting, so I use it in aromatherapy for people who are stressed from too much homework, or are getting overwhelmed by work but need to push through. Great stuff!

Clean crisp uplifting scent Review by

I’ve sampled this and found it to be (if my nose is a trutworthy guide) extremely high in cineole, with a very crisp clean scent. I did not, however, identify very much of a rosemary scent. I’d say it’s a great respiratory oil as long as cineole doesn’t bother your sensitive lungs. In my case it works best if I inhale it from a slight distance - for palm inhalation at least 8 or 10 inches from my nose. Of the high cineole oils, including ravintsara and eucalyptus, this is my favorite. I would definitely recommend this oil even though or possibly because it is not dominated by the scent of rosemary. I haven't yet tried blending with it, but I'd imagine it might lend an almost minty note to a blend. I love how very crisp an oil this is with no funk, no dirty notes at all as rosemary sometimes has.
