The basil scent is vibrant, herbal, and slightly spicy, bringing a fresh and aromatic character to your fragrance products. Its green, peppery notes are balanced by a touch of sweetness, making basil a dynamic choice for uplifting and energizing creations.
Derived from the leaves of the basil plant, this scent owes its signature aroma to molecules like eugenol and methyl chavicol, which contribute to its clove-like and anise-like nuances. Basil is often used in top or heart accords to add a crisp, aromatic layer to herbal, citrus, or fougère compositions.
Compared to other herbal notes like rosemary or thyme, basil is softer and more complex, offering a sweet yet spicy dimension. Perfect for soaps, candles, and diffusers, the basil scent is ideal for crafting products with a fresh, invigorating, and Mediterranean-inspired feel.
