Disappointed
I was expecting to open the bottle and be greeted by the smell of fresh basil, not so much. The smell isn't unpleasant, just not as much basil-y goodness as you would experience with your head in a basil plant.

Basil Bottle Opened
When I received my shipment, the lid on the bottle of basil EO was twisted so the seal had broken and some product had leaked into the packaging. It was just a slight amount but the basil scent was very strong. The EO itself was fine and great quality. My issue was with the packaging and condition of the bottle upon receiving it, thus the three stars.
