Product Overview

Betel Leaf Essential Oil—celebrated across India as Paan or Tambula—is a distinctive, richly aromatic essential oil steam-distilled from the heart-shaped leaves of Piper betle. Treasured in traditional Indian attar making, fine perfumery, oral care, and Ayurvedic wellness, it delivers a warm, spicy-phenolic and herbaceous-green bouquet layered with sweet clove-like warmth, smoky tea-leaf, crisp minty-camphoraceous lift, and earthy-woody undertones.
