Basil oil is used in perfumes as a heart or top note. The scent is fresh, spicy at first, towards anise, in the heart it becomes less fresh, more sweet and the spicy deepens to more spicy. This spice-like fragrance can be smelled far into the base and imparts warmth to the base. Widely applicable, but especially widely used in chypres, fougère (especially the more modern fougères) and in many classic floral perfumes together with aldehydes.
Basil oil is very suitable for the perfuming of soap.

Nothing has been added to the oil, it is 100% pure essential oil.
