Escentia Sweet Fennel Pure Essential Oil (Foeniculum vulgare)

Description

Sweet Fennel Essential Oil is a single-ingredient essential oil steam distilled from crushed fennel seeds and valued
for its sweet, earthy, slightly peppery aroma. It is used in aromatherapy, bath and body blends, and home fragrancing
where a more balancing, herbaceous-spice note is wanted. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use body oil or
perfume, so it should always be diluted appropriately before skin use. Its fresh yet softly warming character makes it
especially appealing in massage blends, bath salts, soaps, and oil burner use.

♡ Why we love it: Sweet fennel has a wonderfully distinctive aroma that feels both grounding and refreshing at the
same time. It brings a softer, more rounded herbal-spice note to a blend, which makes it a lovely choice for body
oils, bath rituals, and more thoughtful aromatherapy recipes.
