Herbaceous
When you consider the herbaceous essential oil scent family, think of a small garden full of herbs you would find in your kitchen. These fragrances are mostly described as fresh, grassy, and green. They may even remind someone of a crisp spring day.

Popular herbaceous essential oils include rosemary, thyme, oregano, and fennel.

Essential oils in the herbaceous scent family provide behavioral benefits such as balancing emotions, increasing positivity and inducing a calming effect on those who use them. They can also boost immunity and aid in digestion, both vital aspects of our health.
