Sweet Fennel Organic Essential Oil (Foeniculum vulgare)

Organic Fennel Essential Oil from Greece – Perfect Chemical Balance

Organic sweet fennel essential oil is obtained by steam distillation from seeds grown in Chalkidiki, Central Macedonia. It has a very nice chemical balance: trans-anethole 51.9% (not excessively high), fenchone 10.7% (balances sweetness with a slight bitterness and freshness), 8.15% alpha-pinene and alpha-phellandrene provide a pleasant, clear tone. It is a therapeutic, profound oil, supporting the digestive and emotional systems.

This aroma is complex and dynamic. Initially, it strikes with the anise-like sweetness of trans-anethole, but then something fresher, greener emerges, with a slight "piney" note – this is α-pinene, limonene, and fenchone. As a result, it is not a heavy, culinary anise, but a clear, spatial scent with a warm heart. In a good blend (e.g., with lemon or lavender), it can "open" the senses and soothe at the same time.
