Luebke, William tgsc, (2021): Herbal eucalyptus spicy terpenic camphoreous medicinal aromatic woody
Albert Vieille SAS: Herbaceous, woody with a eucalyptus facet
Laurel, also called by various common names like bay laurel and sweet bay, is a tree that has been linked with prestige throughout history. its foliage symbolizes glory and success and was used to make the famous laurel wreath of victory. likely native to the mediterranean countries and asia minor, sweet bay has been in use for thousands of years. it has been widely cultivated in the mediterranean region since ancient times. the laurel is a conical, evergreen tree with small, yellow, star-shaped flowers that give way to black, fleshy berries. the dark-green, smooth, and powerfully aromatic leaves form the raw material that is distilled for the essential oil. laurel essential oil has an herbaceous, woody fragrance with a eucalyptus facet. the slightly spicy character is reminiscent of the smell of cajeput.
The Perfumery: Characteristic
Laurel leaf oil, also known as bay laurel, has a sweet, pleasant, spicy, somewhat medicinal aroma. the dry out notes are much finer than eucalyptus or cajupet. the aroma is clean and has a faint fruitiness. ancient greeks and romans used laurel leaves to signify glory; even victorious generals were crowned with laurel leaves.
Hermitage Oils: Characteristic
Adam michael has this to say “laurel leaf essential oil exudes a delightfully fresh, sweet medicinal, slightly spicy, chewy, eucalyptol aroma, no big difference to crushing the fresh leaves in your hand, albeit the aroma of the oil is stronger and longer lasting.
