Clary sage oil

Clary sage oil (CAS 8016-63-5), also known as oil of muscatel, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from Salvia sclarea grown primarily in Mediterranean and Eastern European regions.

With FEMA 2321 designation, it functions as a fragrance ingredient and natural flavoring agent across personal care and food manufacturing sectors worldwide.

In fine fragrance and personal care formulations, it contributes warm, herbaceous, and slightly musky top-to-heart notes used in perfumes, shampoos, and skin care products.

Food and beverage manufacturers apply it as a natural flavoring in alcoholic drinks, particularly vermouths and muscatel-type wines, where it delivers characteristic nutty, tobacco-like depth.

Aromatherapy and wellness product lines incorporate it into massage oils, bath preparations, and diffuser blends for its distinct aromatic profile and versatile application.

Cosmetic formulators also use it in scalp care and hair treatment products targeting its established role as a botanical fragrance component in high-end consumer goods.

The oil is supplied as a pale yellow to colorless mobile liquid, typically packaged in quantities ranging from small drums to bulk containers suited for industrial procurement.

It is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with quality benchmarked against standards such as ISO 3516 and FEMA-recognized flavor grades for global distribution.
