Buchu oil from Agathosma crenulata has a pungent, herbaceous-minty top with a distinctive sulfurous-fruity facet reminiscent of blackcurrant bud and cassis. Sharp and camphoraceous on first sniff, it develops a green, slightly medicinal herbal character. Less intensely cassis-like than the betulina variety, but still carries the signature diosphenol/thiol funk.AI · claude-opus-4-7
