I bought this for use in the car but the smell does not appeal to me. I plan on using it mixed with other oils and follow some of suggestions from other users so that I can get some usage out of it.

There are very few herbs I don't really care for but Basil has always been one of them. My son talked me into getting this sweet Basil EO as Basil has always been one of his favorites. I'm so glad he did! It's a wonderful scent that I will definately continue to use in my herbal preparations.

This Basil is a wonderful smelling oil. Blend it with Frankincense and grapefruit for a very refreshing smell throughout the house and to alleviate lung congestion.

This is my favourite basil essential oil, ever! The smell is both refreshing and complex. It is more stimulating than basil linalol, which suits me fine when used for stimulating compassion for self or others, and as an appetizer and respiratory tonic.

A wonderful useful oil, Ocimum basilicum or Sweet basil -has an aroma just like the spice you might use in your pasta sauce: the aromas of the various basils are so different that it has been suggested to classify them according to the aroma, instead of botanical relationship. It is light, fresh, fruity-spicy with a balsamic, anise-like undertone. It has wonderful Aromatherapy properties: warming and toning. Restoring peace of mind and counteracting depression. Clarifying, uplifting, energizing. Blends well with: lavender, clary sage, thyme, cedarwood, bergamot, geranium, hyssop. Basil clears the head, relieves mind fatigue, giving clarity of thought. The oil is for EXTERNAL USE ONLY and it should always be diluted with a suitable carrier oil before applying to the skin. It is non-toxic and non-irritant but with possible sensitization in some individuals. Do not use if pregnant. Used for aches and pains, bronchitis, childbirth, colds, concentration, congestion, depression, fatigue, 'flu, head colds, headaches, herpes, hysteria, increased awareness, increasing production of breast milk, indecisiveness, indigestion, insect bites, insomnia, lack of confidence, menstruation, mental fatigue, mental stimulation, migraine, nausea, negative thoughts, oily skin, physical fatigue, rattled nerves, rheumatism, scanty periods, shingles, sinusitis, sore muscles, sorrowfulness, stimulating adrenal, stress, uplifting. Also known as Common Basil, Joy-of-the-Mountain, True Sweet Basil, European Basil. I give this one an excellent as it's one of the better one's I've used.
