Laurel Leaf
Sharp and slightly medicinal, close to bay leaf in a kitchen.
What Laurel Leaf actually smells like
Laurel Leaf is steam-distilled from Laurus nobilis — the same bay laurel that ends up in stocks and stews — and it carries that kitchen-herb familiarity straight into the bottle. Sharp, green and slightly medicinal, it smells recognisably like the dried bay leaves most people already have in a cupboard.
That familiarity is the point: it's built for kitchens, where a scent that reads as "clean, herbal, a little culinary" fits the room better than anything sweet or floral would.

A note on safety
For external aromatherapy use only — never taken internally. Use with care during pregnancy, ideally in a diffuser rather than on skin, and avoid entirely during the first trimester unless a qualified practitioner advises otherwise. Suitable for diffuser and inhalation use for adults and children 12 and over; for younger children, consult a healthcare professional first. Use with caution around pets, and never apply topically to an animal. Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
