Rosemary CO2 (Cineole Type)
Mark Evans has this to say “Rosemary types can be low or high in eucalyptol (1,8 cineole) – those with high levels tend to be slightly less camphorous in aroma and more pleasant smelling. OK, keep that in mind. Now, the super-critical CO2 extraction method results in a far superior product than by steam distillation. The result of the CO2 extraction is incredibly true to life, exactly like rubbing rosemary between your fingers and enjoying the beautifully herbaceous aroma.
So, in this product we have the CO2 extraction combined with a high cineole type of rosemary – the best of both worlds! Smelling this on the blotter actually messes with your mind for a few seconds because the brain is expecting to see a sprig of rosemary and instead sees a bit of paper, it’s an uncanny feeling. The fragrance is fresh, bright and invigorating, strongly herbal, green, woody, wonderfully aromatic and really is just like the fresh herb.
I would recommend using this for any sort of fresh, herbal or aromatic creations and blending with lavender, vetiver, basil, clary sage and any other herb-like material.”

Sarah J (verified owner) –
I attended a few aromatherapy lectures where the use of CO2’s were talked about in detail rather than the E.O. which I found fascinating in that they are truer to the original plant scent/chemistry as not subject to heat. This led me to purchase more of the aromatherapy oils I have but in CO2 form to compare.
This Rosemary CO2 cineole chemotype is heavenly. It is very fresh, still complex, very identifiable as rosemary, minty eucalyptus, more crushed rosemary floral than the different brand E.O. cineol I have. There is crushed green pine needle combined with a sweet young wood which turns more balsamic – as in it has a creamy softness bringing all the other notes together and left with a remnant of freshly squished green peppercorn spice. The E.O. I have is much more sticky rosemary cottage garden, this CO2 is drier – warming – ethereal – more coastal mountain/high altitude but in full sun sensation!
I also get the “paper” that Mark mentions in his review but for me later on!
Both are great for aromatherapy but the CO2 for me has the edge for perfume making.
