🌟 Product Description
Bay Leaf Oil is a richly aromatic essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of the Laurus nobilis tree. It is prized for its spicy, herbaceous, and slightly camphoraceous aroma, reminiscent of clove and allspice. This oil is widely used in aromatherapy, perfumery, massage formulations, and traditional wellness systems.
Known for its warming and stimulating effects, Bay Leaf Oil has natural antimicrobial, analgesic, and digestive-supporting properties. It also plays a role as a middle to top note in masculine and spicy perfume accords.
