Rosemary, verbenone

Softer, more refined, and distinctly lemony — Rosemary, verbenone essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis ct. verbenone) is steam distilled from the leaves of organically grown plants in France. Where the cineole chemotype is bright and penetrating, the verbenone chemotype is gentler and more complex — less camphor sharpness, more nuance, with a richer, slightly honeyed lemon character that sets it unmistakably apart. The most prized and premium of the rosemary chemotypes, and a collector’s essential.
