The oil is typically very pale, only possessing a slight yellow or olive coloration, though its aroma is fresh and powerful. Sweet, dry, and camphoraceous, laurel leaf oil’s odor is utilized in a variety of fragrance applications, particularly those within spicy or citrus perfumery. In the culinary world, laurel leaf oil is mainly used in pickling brines, meat sauces, and other canned goods. Its flavor is warm and fresh, retaining a unique softness most comparable to fresh orange oil.
