Product Overview

Our team is ecstatic to have sourced beautifully vibrant Perilla (Shiso) Leaf essential oil. This rare and highly unusual aroma is like no other: complex leafy green and herbaceous with notes of fresh citrus, warm spices, earthy undertones, and nuances of cumin, caraway, and cinnamon. Perilla (Shiso) Leaf brings a striking, clean, green freshness to your floral, green, gourmand, spice, and tea accords. Both unique and remarkably versatile, minute traces of this diffusive wonder can have transformative effects on your citrus colognes and fougères, white florals, green chypres, and modern Amber compositions.

Perilla, also known Chinese or Japanese basil, is a green to purple-leaved annual herb of the mint family, native to the mountainous regions of China and India.  Popularized in Japan, its Japanese name Shiso comes from the Chinese name zǐsū. The distinctive aroma of the essential oil comes primarily from the monoterpene Perillaldehyde (approx. 44%), along with Limonene (approx. 21%) and beta-Caryophyllene (approx. 12%).

Aromatherapists and formulators value Perilla (Shiso) Leaf for its uplifting and clarifying qualities. Its warming, invigorating aroma shines in diffuser blends, roll-ons, chest and belly rubs, and massage oils for muscles and joints. It also gives refreshing brightness to morning body oils and lotions, enlivening the senses.

For perfumers and formulators seeking to go beyond the usual green and herbaceous materials, Perilla (Shiso) Leaf will certainly inspire! Used as a middle or top note, it lends naturalness to citrus, florals, woods, and more with its uncommon, exotic quality and freshness. Offering a sharp, green verdancy with a sophisticated edge, Perilla (Shiso) Leaf is perfect for bringing an unexpected twist to your compositions.
