Sage Oil Description
Three types of sage oil are commonly sold: Dalmatian (Salvia officinalis), Spanish (Salvia lavandulaefolia) and clary (Salvia sclarea). Each has a unique fragrance and the oils are not interchangeable in aromatherapy. Dalmatian sage oil has the characteristic aroma of the herb that is recognizable as 'sage' to most of us. Sage oil is occasionally used in perfumery in herb-type, spicy, and masculine scents.
