This annual or short lived perennial has square stems, toothed leaves with a strong, fresh, clove like scent, and small white scented late-summer flowers. The warm, spicy taste of this popular herb’s leaf combines well with garlic, tomatoes, eggplant and Italian dishes. The essential oil flavors condiments and liqueurs and scents soaps and perfumes. Inhaling the essential oil refreshes the mind and stimulates a sense of smell dulled by viral infection.
