Indian Basil (Chavicol)
Where ancient botanical wisdom meets modern quality standards — trusted by formulators across the globe.
The Essence
Indian Basil (Chavicol) is a premium essential oil, steam distilled from the flowering tops/leaves of Ocimum basilicum. Indian Basil (Chavicol type) oil is the high-methyl chavicol chemotype of Ocimum basilicum, widely cultivated in India. Unlike the European (linalool) chemotype, the Indian basil contains high proportions of methyl chavicol (estragole) and chavicol, giving it a distinct spicy character. It is commonly used in industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Characterised by its top note; spicy, clove-like, anise-herbal character; medium-strong profile, this oil finds application across aromatherapy, skincare, perfumery, and wellness formulations globally. Aromalis India sources this essential oil from trusted farms in India, ensuring every batch meets the rigorous quality standards demanded by international formulators and brands.
