Basil ct methyl chavicol essential oil
Ocimum basilicum ct. methyl chavicol
Húng quế ct. methyl chavicol · Lamiaceae
Sweet like anise, warm, with green leaf underneath. This is the basil closest to the plate of herbs served with phở, because Vietnamese and Thai basil are naturally rich in methyl chavicol.
The same compound is found in tarragon, and its close relative is the anethole of star anise and fennel. That is why the nose files this whole group in the same drawer, even though they come from plants that have nothing to do with one another.
Setting this bottle next to the linalool chemotype is the quickest way to understand what a chemotype is. The same species, the same name on the label, and one side is anise while the other is flowers.
