Aromatic Description: Basil is a beautifully rounded aroma that is sweet and leafy with spicy tones. The true basil tones are lingering and exotic. ** It is important to note that all absolutes are extremely concentrated by nature. They should not be evaluated in this state unless you are accustomed to the undiluted fragrance. For those trying Absolutes for the first time, we strongly recommend they be evaluated in dilution. Otherwise, the complexity of the fragrance - particularly the rare and exotic notes - become lost.
History: In Greek its name means 'royal remedy' or 'king'. Beloved culinary plant of Indian, Asian and Mediterranean countries.
