is almond oil an essential oil
Almond Bitter Essential Oil. Adam Michael has this to say âThe aroma of bitter almond essential oil is almond intense and sweet nutty with watery apple and juicy cherry nuances. This essential oil is produced from the volatile oil obtained from the bitter almond kernels â Prunus amygdalus var. Amara. The main chemical constituent in the essential oil is benzaldehyde (>97%) whether this is from a natural or synthetic source â both may still be sold as bitter almond.
