Laurel Leaf Oil
Description
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 Cajeput. 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.
