Basil Tropical Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Basil Tropical Essential Oil is a vividly aromatic, spicy-sweet, and energizing herbaceous oil obtained from the leaves of Ocimum basilicum grown in warm tropical climates.
This chemotype — rich in methyl chavicol (estragole) — gives the oil its distinctive anise-like brightness and warm exotic sweetness , setting it apart from the softer, floral European (linalool) type.
Its fragrance is intense, fresh, and slightly spicy , evoking the scent of crushed basil leaves under tropical sun.
In perfumery, it brings vitality, clarity, and modern green sharpness to top and heart accords.
In aromatherapy, it symbolizes focus, inspiration, and mental renewal .
At Herbsmetics, Basil Tropical is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests explore how herbal oils shape brightness, contrast, and movement within natural compositions.
