Ocimum Canum is a native of Africa, where it grows wild and abundantly over wide parts of that continent. In India, the plant also grows wild and it has been brought to South America from that part of the world.
The oil is usually pale yellow or almost colorless and of intensely sweet, woody balsamic odor with a rich and tenacious, fruity balsamic body note. The topnotes can be more or less coarse, but the dryout is usually very sweet, soft and pleasant.
