Basil, botanically known as Ocimum basilicum, has a fascinating history dating back to ancient India and other parts of Asia. In India, basil holds spiritual significance and is considered a sacred herb with protective powers. Through trade routes, basil reached ancient Greece and Rome, where it was valued for its culinary flavor and used as a symbol of love and happiness. Today, basil is integral to Mediterranean cuisine and is globally appreciated for its distinctive taste and aromatic fragrance.

Vetiver, derived from the vetiver grass plant (Chrysopogon zizanioides), has a rich history deeply rooted in various cultures, especially in South Asia and parts of the tropics. Over the centuries, vetiver spread from India to other parts of Asia, Africa, and the Americas, where it became incorporated into diverse cultural practices. In the perfume industry, vetiver is widely used for its unique fragrance and fixative properties. Today, vetiver remains relevant in modern applications, ranging from essential oils to skincare products.
