Rosmarinus officinalis
Extraction method: steam distilled
Perfumery note: middle
Rosemary is commonly grown and used not only as a seasoning for food but also for its therapeutic and fragrant properties. I will only be focusing on the extracted oil used for fragrance purposes. It would be reckless on my part, however, if I didn't at least make note of the safety precautions of rosemary essential oil.

Compared to fresh rosemary the EO is not as sweet with the fresh herb not as medicinal.
