About tulsi
Tulsi, revered as a sacred plant in India, is a cornerstone in Ayurvedic medicine with a rich history spanning thousands of years. Its fragrance is crisp, green, and slightly peppery with hints of clove, making it distinct in the realm of aromatic herbs. In perfumery, Tulsi is valued for its unique blend of freshness and mild spiciness, offering a refreshing top note that complements a variety of compositions, especially in natural and botanical perfumes. Its scent profile captures the essence of a herb garden at dawn, crisp and invigorating.

Perfumer's Tips
Utilize tulsi as a top note to introduce a fresh, green, and slightly spicy opening to your fragrance. It works best in small quantities to avoid overpowering the composition. Layering with complementary notes can enhance its natural complexity.
