How it behaves

volatility index 0.50 · the base

No atmospheric boiling point is curated for Basil, sweet EO (France), so its behaviour is read from curated diffusion and fixative values rather than from an estimated figure. On that reading it belongs to the base.

It evaporates slowly and anchors the drydown, still readable on skin hours after the top notes have gone.

The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.
