Organic Fennel Essential Oil

Organic Fennel Essential Oil

Botanical name: Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce

Organic Fennel Essential Oil is steam distilled from the crushed seeds of Foeniculum vulgare var. dulce, commonly known as sweet fennel. Native to the Mediterranean region, fennel has been cultivated for centuries both as a culinary herb and for its long history in traditional botanical practices.

Ancient Greek and Roman cultures highly regarded fennel, associating it with strength, longevity, and vitality. Today, sweet fennel remains one of the most recognisable aromatic seed oils, appreciated for its distinctive sweet anise-like fragrance.

The aroma is warm, sweet, herbaceous, and softly spicy with characteristic liquorice-like notes. Its comforting aromatic profile makes it especially popular in digestive massage blends, diffuser blends, and botanical body care preparations.

This certified organic Fennel Essential Oil is sourced from Central Macedonia and steam distilled from the crushed seeds to preserve its naturally sweet aromatic character.
