Clary sage oil is obtained by steam distillation of flowering tops and foliage of cultivated Salvia sclarea L. (Lamiaceae). It is a pale yellow to yellow liquid with a fresh herbaceous odor and a wine-like bouquet. 

Spanish sage oil is produced by steam distillation of leaves and twigs of Salvia lavandulifolia Vahl growing in Spain in the provinces Granada, Murcia, Almaria, and Jaen. The oil is an almost colorless to pale yellow liquid with the characteristic camphoraceous odor of the leaves. 

Unlike Dalmatian sage oil, Spanish sage oil does not contain a- or /3-thujone camphor and 1,8-cineole are the major components [760-762a] and are responsible for the odor of the oil, which is used primarily in pharmaceutical preparations and in technical perfumery.

The essential oils produced by certain members of the widespread genus Salvia (Labiatae) are use extensively in the food and cosmetic industries. Examples are Dalmatian sage oil from S. officinalis (used... 

Alteration of essential-oil components during distillation can be recognized by comparing the oils obtained by steam distillation and by SFE. The hydrolysis of esters (like linalyl acetate) to the corresponding alcohols was observed in clary sage oils. The hydrolysis of thymol bound in glycosides resulted in different thymol concentrations in distilled thyme oils, which was proved by appropriate treatments (acidic and enzymatic) of the previously CO2-extracted plant material.

Sage Oil, Dalmatian Type, occurs as a yellow or green-yellow liquid with a warm, camphoraceous and thujone odor and flavor. It is the oil obtained by steam distillation from the partially dried leaves of the plant Salvia officinalis L. (Fam. Labiatae). It is soluble in most fixed oils and in mineral oil. Frequently the solutions in mineral oil are opalescent. It is slightly soluble in propylene glycol, but it is practically insoluble in glycerin.
