Product Abstract: An evergreen shrub with numerous branches, Rosemary's bark is ash-colored and scaly with leathery, thick leaves that are lustrous and dark green with white underneath. Its tiny pale blue blossoms abound from December through spring, and it can grow to heights of close to 2 meters in height. Its name means 'dew of the sea' because Rosemary naturally grows near the Mediterranean Sea. It has been used medicinally for several thousand years, and its leaves were traditionally burned to purify the air. Rosemary was used in Roman burial rites, and that practice continued well into the middle ages when it was customary to lay branches of rosemary on the coffin at funerals.
This Variety of the Rosemary Essential Oil is the Camphor type, which is high in this component.

Rating: I find this oil priceless and extremely beneficial. The ct camphor isn't the easiest to find and organic is vital. This EO is fantastic all on its own as a foot soak along with some Epsom salt and finish it with a magnesium cream. Your feet will fly for the rest of the day!! Also the best for headaches with basil & juniper.

Rating: Perfect rosemary oil. It is exactly as I wanted it to smell, and is perfect for hair sprays and shampoos. I will be adding this one to my favourites and hope ND always has this one.
By:Norma, Calgary, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 18-Sep-2018
Rating: Ahh...the scent I was looking for. I originally bought the Moroccan variety, not a fan. This is perfect!
Rating: I use this oil on occasion in my massage practice to aid circulation in the calves/legs. Men love it, and is a great blended with peppermint for shampoo and soap. I love the spicy, herbal aroma and stimulating effects.
By:Nancy, St.catharines, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-Mar-2007
Rating: One of my favourite scents from ND, and my partner loves it too. It is really a true rosemary scent with all the fresh and earthy tones of the real thing. I am absolutely thrilled when I use this eo to fragrance my shampoo and conditioner, not to mention the wonders that rosemary does for your hair! I will mix it in with some fragrance modifier to help mix it into a water bucket and do a rosemary rinse on my hair once a week after shampoo/conditioner.
By:Ilina, Pembroke, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Jul-2017
Rating: We all have an odd scent that we love and this is mine!! Smells so much like the rosemary herb fresh from the garden that you will not be disappointed!! If you love the rosemary herb , you will love this. Blended with lavender it is unique!

Rating: Sooo strong a scent bit I love it so much!!!
By:Ijemamaka, Calgary, Alberta

Rating: This is the camphorous Rosemary I expected, similar to the Morocco. The Moroccan one may have a little more depth and complexity, but both work fine in my hair prep (I use it for scalp stimulation, it is great for fine hair, dandruff, scalp issues). Also good in sinus/chest congestion blends for diffusion and chest rubs. A staple in my medicine cabinet (this or the Moroccan)
By:Stephanie, Lethbridge, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Sep-2015
Rating: I really love the scent, but only after it ages for a good couple of weeks after opening. It's strange...the initial new scent is odd, but after a few weeks, it really starts to change and smell more like Rosemary should. The only problem is that when using this oil in products for my business, I would need to let it age a while before using it, so using it right away if needed is the problem.
By:Armando, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Feb-2012
Rating: This is one of the few essential oils that I use more for aromatherapy rather than its skin benefits because it helps for mental clarity and memory retention! This oil is nothing short of magical! I've been totally recommending this oil to my friends who are law and medical students because it really, really works!! Wonderful! Just wonderful!!
By:John, Markham, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Mar-2015
Rating: A nice strong but not overpowering aroma, would work well in a vapo rub
By:Aimee, Fort Mcmurray, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-May-2014
Rating: I purchased this for some aromatherapy blends. I used the same percentage of this EO as the last rosemary EO, but with this one, I find it overpowering. The scent is nice enough, but much too strong for me. I'll probably use it in smaller quantities, and/or in some of my more unisex soap scent blends.
By:A., Dawson Creek, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 20-Jul-2013
Rating: This is a very herbaceous, but pungent oil - not what I was expecting, or had experienced with the last rosemary EO I was using. I was hoping for something bright, sharp and fresh, but there is a kind of wet-grass muddiness to it that will be hard to blend.. Maybe it was just the batch? This might be what you're looking for (and everyone else seems fine with it!), so it might just be a matter of personal taste.
Rating: Love this rosemary! Find it less camphorous than others, quite subtle yet powerful! Fades a lot in CP soaps, but good in other applications.
By:Ancel, Cookstown, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 26-Dec-2013
Rating: Love, love, love this smell! Made it with lavender in a CP soap. Behaved like a real gentleman!
By:Jessica, Pointe Claire, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Oct-2013
Rating: Not quite the fragrant rosemary scent I was hoping for. Smelled rosemary for the first time at a friend and I knew I had to get me some, but this one is a more smoky undertone, not bad but It will need an anchor in any soap I'll use it.
By:Beckie, Elmcreek, Manitoba Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 29-Dec-2013
Rating: Trying this Rosemary Oil for the first time. Not quite what I have been using in the past. The French has a more distinct fragrance. Would like to see it return to you product line.
Rating: it's not bad by any means but it just doesn't come out as rosemary. It's sort of understated and not as fragrant as the french rosemary which was discontinued.
By:Rava, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 29-Apr-2011
Rating: Great essential oil added to my vapor rub
By:Danielle, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 04-Jan-2013
Rating: A strong clean smelling rosemary. I really enjoy it in my hair rinse. Purchased a 15ml to sample, followed by a 100ml in my next order. It has now become a stable!
By:Pauline, Calgary, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 25-Apr-2011
Rating: This is my first purchase of rosemary eo and I quite like it. Although it is unlikely that I'd use it alone for anything, it is especially nice when blended with NDA's pepperment supreme. It smells fresh and herbaceous.
By:Laurie, Orangeville, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 01-May-2013
Rating: This is the first Rosemary EO that really did smell like Rosemary, most have a very astringent quality to them. I love it! I have been using it in a hair treatment mixed with spearmint for my clients who have overly processed hair and it is working wonders! not to mention they smell AMAZING!! I will be purchasing this from now on.
By:Candace, Kelowna, British Columbia
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 13-Apr-2013
Rating: It smells amazing!!! I use with water like a spray.Looooove it!!!!
Rating: We tried a number of different Rosemary EO's and found most to be too strong and similar to eucalyptus. This Spanish rosemary was just perfect and mixes very well with Peppermint EO. A+
By:Scott, Whistler, British Columbia
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 12-Feb-2012
Rating: It's true that this version of Rosemary has less of a camphoraceous note than other rosemary EOs but that's why I like it! It's softer, less sharp and for me, less cloying...less "pinch" on the nose. It's not a light scent by any means...definitely smells strongly of rosemary.
By:Jeni, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 13-Feb-2012
Rating: I found this rosemary to be odd-smelling and agree with Barbara from Delta. Its not a pure uplifting evergreen type, its a very strong resinous terrible ashy smell.
By:Galatea, Aldergrove, British Columbia
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Apr-2012
Rating: The scent of this oil is almost smoky and it has none of the camphoraceous aspect that makes other Rosemary EO's sparkle. I was looking for a Rosemary with more body than the Tunisian, however, the Spanish is heavy and very much like dried rosemary with none of the fresh, green aspects I was expecting.
By:Barbara, Delta, British Columbia
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 04-Jul-2006
Rating: I love this oil as an addition to the rinse water when I'm cleaning house. Not only does it have anti-microbial properties, it leaves the house with a lingering delicious smell that always makes me feel brighter and more cheerful.
By:Stacey, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Dec-2007
Rating: This rosemary has a sweet yummy note. I use it in shampoo and it makes my hair
sooo soft and managable. love it
Rating: This is the most authentic rosemary eo I have every smelled.. It's extremely herb-y smelling and it's very clean.. I just love it!
By:Lisanne, St. Catharines, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Mar-2007
Rating: I love green, herby smells so rosemary was a natural match. Nothing could rival the authenticity of this scent! Fantastic!
By:Stephanie, Cochrane, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Apr-2007
Rating: This is a terrific fresh potent fragrance but not sharp. I love it combined with lavender as a mood lifter and stress reliever.esp. PMS!
By:Alexandra, Nanaimo, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-Mar-2007
Rating: This smells like the rosemary in my herb garden.. very refreshing, very herbal... It smells like the real deal..
By:Lisanne, St. Catharines, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Mar-2007
Rating: Very happy with this oil. I've smelled oils that don't really smell like real Rosemary, but this one is def the real thing!
