Frequently Asked Questions

Basil essential oil has a fresh, green, and herbaceous aroma with a slightly sweet and peppery edge. It’s cleaner and brighter than some heavier herbal oils, but there’s still a warm, inviting quality that makes it feel both uplifting and grounded at the same time.
Yes — basil is great in a diffuser on its own if you like fresh, garden-like scents. Try starting with 2–3 drops. Its crisp, green aroma can make a room feel lively and focused without being too sharp. It’s especially nice during daytime or whenever you want a clean, natural vibe in your space.
Basil pairs beautifully with citrus oils like lemon or lime for a bright, refreshing blend that feels energizing and clean. It also works nicely with floral oils like lavender if you want a softer balance, or with rosemary for a more herbal, garden-fresh mix. Those combinations make the basil feel even more cheerful and balanced.
Yes, basil can be used in personal care blends when it’s properly diluted in a carrier oil. Because it’s a bit strong on its own, mixing it into something like jojoba or almond oil first makes it much more comfortable on the skin. A small patch test is a smart step, especially if you’re new to using herbal oils topically.
When diffused, basil essential oil tends to create a fresh, uplifting, and focused atmosphere. If you want your room to feel invigorated and more lively — like a gentle reminder to stay sharp and energized — basil is a lovely choice.
Keep the bottle tightly closed and store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. This simple step helps preserve its fresh, green scent so it stays lively and effective every time you use it.

Customers praised this pure, high-quality oil for its fresh, authentic scent that's "grounding and uplifting." The generous 4 oz size offers great value, and the included dropper makes it easy to use. Shoppers love it for aromatherapy, diffusers, DIY projects, and blending with other oils. Many noted its effectiveness for mental clarity, stress relief, and headaches.

Smells lovely scent is long-lasting! 4 oz bottle of high quality oil for under 10 bucks

I absolutely love the smell of BASIL And this bottle of Basil Essential Oil that I ordered from Brooklyn Botany smells wonderful! Its nice strong the scent actually lasts!! Ive purchased many essential oils from other brands on (like ones that are considered top rated products too) the majority of them only last for a few hours. So this one definitely is a high quality essential oil And the best part is the price! (Side note: It was 9.99 when I ordered mine). You just really cant beat getting a huge 4 ounce bottle of high quality essential oil for under 10 bucks! 5 STARS!

Nice Scent, Great Value

Oil is definitely basil and smells as such. It doesn't appear watered or diluted. Great size for the price. Unlike some essential oils, this one didn't clog my oil diffuser nor did it leave a sticky residue on the surfaces near.

Great price and quality

Ordered 12825 and arrived 22825. I don't mind the wait bc this looks like it's a new batch, with expiration date of Feb. 2027, so I appreciate that. This big 4oz. bottle of 100 pure Basil oil smells amazing and I have always loved the smell of basil. This is for external use only, but because this is pure oil, you can use it straight for aromatherapy (as in a diffuser). For other uses, like on skin, they say to dilute this with a carrier oil, plus their listing says "this oil blends well with other (essential) oils like Bergamot, Rose, Geranium, Frankincense, Grapefruit, Vetiver, Lemon, Tangerine, Patchouli, Sweet Orange, Cedarwood, Neroli, Rosemary and Peppermint." I initially ordered this to include a few drops mixed with other oils and ingredients for homemade deodorant, which I will do soon. However, I also have a passive diffuser (lava stone in a wooden base) that I put this oil on with nothing else to see how it works with flies and mosquitoes. A bit of research discloses that basil essential oil is a great natural insect repellent. I'm in for that. I am fond of this brand's products and this one is a 5 star rating.

Generous amount for the price.

This is a generous amount of basil essential oil (4 ounces) for a little less than 10. I like to use Basil essential oils for my plants. I use 10 drops of this basil oil and fill it with water in a 4-ounce spray bottle to help boost plant growth and prevent pest from eating up my flowers and veggies. This is a very affordable oil given the number of oils that I go through for my plants. I'm not sure where this essential oil is made but it is distributed to company based in Delaware. I am curious to try other essential oils from this brand. Recommend.

Interesting scent

This basil oil smells similar to licorice.

Powerful stuff

Very potent product. I could smell it right out of package when I opened it without even opening the bottle. So value-wise, you need very little to get a great scent out of this. My wife uses it for candle-making, but it would work well in a diffuser as well. The scent is very authentic, not some chemical reproduction type of thing. So price, quality is all there. If I could give them a .5-star deduction, I would because they're not based in Brooklyn. But other than that, it's great.

Good for relaxing my mind

I got this basil essential oil to help calm my mind before bedtime. It works really well. It has a very sharp scent and so just a little goes a long way. I dilute it with coconut oil to put it on my skin and it helps to relieve some of my itchy dry skin as well.

An interesting addition to our aroma therapy oils

My wife and I routinely use aroma therapy oils: in the afternoon while drinking tea, in the shower, in the evening before bed... We really enjoy it. Neither of us had tried basil oil before, even though we both love eating basil so much. This one has been interesting. It has some characteristics that remind me of your typical Genovese aroma, like you might have with a caprese salad, but it also has other notes that are less familiar... a sort of "grassy" or green smell. Regardless, it's a nice aroma, and it's more concentrated than many such aromas are, so even this little 0.33 OZ bottle will last you quite some time.

4 Fl Oz

I've been making goat milk soap for almost a decade, using milk from my herd and all natural ingredients. Never any "scent" blends - always essential oils. We are now ordering directly from Brooklyn Botany and taking advantage of their excellent customer service, top shelf quality, and consistent product. I feel lucky for this relationship! And the basil essential oil is just one of the great products!

Love this EO

This basil essential oil is AMAZING. The scent is fresh, clean, and slightly sweet without being overpowering. It smells like walking through a sun-soaked herb gardensuper grounding and uplifting at the same time. Ive been using it for mental clarity and stress relief, and it honestly helps me feel more focused and calm. A few drops go a long way, and the quality is obvious the moment you open the bottle. It blends beautifully with citrus or lavender oils too. Highly recommend if youre looking for a crisp, energizing oil that still feels soothing. This ones a staple in my collection now

This basil essential oil is pure, fresh, and very aromatic. The 4 oz size is generous compared to most essential oil bottles, making it a great value. The included dropper makes it easy to use just the right amount for diffusers, blends, or DIY projects. The scent is strong and natural, perfect for aromatherapy or mixing with other oils. A reliable choice for anyone who loves essential oils.

The basil essential oil is very fragrant and smells natural, not at all synthetic. I use it for bath bomb making, shower steamers, and for baths and it works great.

BASIL ESSENTIAL OIL

This basil essential oil from Brooklyn Botany is a great value for its size. This is a genuine and good quality oil! If you've never used basil oil before and are worried about it smelling like a bottle of pesto, rest assured that this only carries a small hint of that and the overall scent is much more complex - herbal and spicy, with a slight licorice undertone, which are all the characteristics that I would expect from basil oil. I am pleased with this product and would recommend it!

Customer Review
Very Nice Quality, Fresh, Fragrant

I've been using this in my bath and in an aroma diffuser along with a bit of lemon oil. It's perfect for bath bombs and will be an excellent addition when I make some soap, too. It arrived in a nice dark amber bottle and it's fresh. I'm well pleased with this oil and the seller who dispatched my order request right away.

Good Stuff

This is a high quality product. I am reviewing the Brooklyn Botany Basil Essential Oil - Huge 4 Fl Oz - 100 Pure and Natural - Premium Grade with Dropper and I am very pleased to have this lovely oil. It is very authentic in texture, aroma and presentation. The bottle and dropper are thick and top notch. My use for the oil is in a diffuser where I plan to blend it as a base oil to add interest and depth to other oil blends for aromatherapy and enhancing the environment in general. Later I may graduate to medicinal and therapeutic uses for this versatile oil; there are many uses for it from relaxation to anti-inflammatory properties to addressing skin issues. But I'm not a doctor so I'm not recommending that anyone use it on the skin without doing your own due diligence of course. Considering the strength of the oil, the top notch bottle and presentation, and, importantly the very generous size, I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending this versatile oil. This price point is fair in my opinion and I plan to enjoy this oil for a long time to come. Thank you.
