Terpeneless Bay Leaf Oil is a pale straw-colored to brownish-orange colored oil, depending on the method of deterpenation.
The terpeneless oil is more easily soluble in diluted alcohol.
Terpeneless Bay Leaf Oil has an intensely sweet, deep and mellow odor of a spicy-balsamic type. The lemon-like topnote is still perceptible, but the freshness is less pronounced compared to the natural oil.
The Terpeneless Bay Leaf Oil blends excellently with lavandin or lavender oil and with petitgrain, citrus oils, rosemary, geraniol, citronellol, cinnamic alcohol, amylsalicylate, ylang-ylang, etc. in a wide variety of perfumes and perfume bases.
