I had high hopes for my new basil EO - based on reading about how lovely it smelled in several threads on here. And also because I love the smell of fresh basil. I've now used it a few times - once in a 'herbal blend' with other EOs, and today I used it with an FO called 'Lime Basil Mandarin'.
But alas - it just smells like marijuana. Or lawn clippings that have been sitting for a day or two and have lost that lovely 'fresh cut' smell. Earthy, grassy, heady - yuk.
And I only added 3g EO to 30g FO, so not a large amount either!
