Garlic essential oil is distilled from crushed bulbs of Allium sativum, and it smells like it: pungent, savory, and sulfurous, with a lingering depth that no perfumer would mistake for anything else. A single drop carries the weight of many cloves, so it is always measured sparingly.
Potency by the drop A single drop can carry the character of many whole cloves, which is why this oil is always measured sparingly.

Diffused in a tiny amount, garlic oil fills a small, well-ventilated space with bold savory aroma; start with a single drop and ventilate the room freely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade is this garlic essential oil? ▾
It is sold as botanical grade. Our published Certificate of Analysis is available for you to read before you buy. If you need specifics beyond the document, contact us and we will gladly talk through what your project requires.
Which plant is this oil from, and how does it differ from onion oil? ▾
It comes from Allium sativum, the garlic plant, distilled from crushed bulbs. Onion oil is made from a different species and has its own aroma. Garlic oil is the one to reach for when you want that deeper, savory, sulfurous character.
What does garlic essential oil smell like, and what does it blend with? ▾
It smells pungent, savory, and sulfurous, and the scent lingers. Because it is so strong, it pairs best with other bold aromatics such as black pepper, ginger, basil, oregano, and rosemary. Use only a trace beside them so the garlic does not overwhelm the blend.
How do I dilute it for skin use? ▾
Dilute 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil. Garlic is very strong, so begin at the low end and let a little go a long way. Patch test on a small area first, and keep the mixture away from your eyes.
What sizes do you offer, and do you sell wholesale? ▾
There are ten sizes, from 0.5 oz to 400 lbs: 0.5 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz, 5 lbs, 25 lbs, 100 lbs, and 400 lbs. Wholesale and bulk orders are welcome, and every size comes from the same standard.
How does per-ounce pricing change across sizes? ▾
Per-ounce cost falls steadily as the size goes up. The largest size works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest bottle, so buyers who know their usage can save meaningfully by stepping up to a bigger size.
Do bulk orders come with lab documentation? ▾
Yes. Every size is covered by the site's published Certificate of Analysis. If you need anything further for a bulk order, contact us before ordering and we will sort it out together.
Which size should I choose? ▾
Start with 0.5 oz or 1 oz to learn the scent, since a drop goes a long way. Regular makers often settle on 2 oz to 8 oz, and 16 oz suits repeat batches. The pound sizes, 5 lbs and up, are for production and resale.
How fast do orders ship? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need extra handling, so allow a little more time for them. Checkout is through our Shopify store, where you pick your size and complete the order.
Why is garlic oil measured so sparingly? ▾
Distillation concentrates the plant's sulfur aromatics enormously, so a single drop can represent the character of many whole cloves. That is why we suggest measuring by the drop and keeping the bottle tightly capped, away from other aromatics, so the scent stays contained.
