It blends well with basil, cistus, lavender, and mountain pine essential oils, as well as oakmoss absolute.

Uses

Tarragon essential oil is traditionally used as a flavoring agent in perfumery, cosmetics, soap making, the food industry (sauces and spices), and the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage industry.
