It also blends very well with other essential oils like lavender, clove bud, bergamot, clary sage, lime, lemon, geranium, rosemary, neroli, juniper, black pepper, hyssop, marjoram, verbena, sandalwood, melissa, and eucalyptus. People who use it find its aroma both balancing and enlivening, similar to lavender oil, except that basil is more energizing.
