As the name suggests, the essential oil manufacturers derive this oil from dark purple, dried juniper berries. Juniper berry essential oil is a thin clear oil with a crisp, earthy, sweet, and woody aroma with fruity undertones. It contains pinene, sabinene, limonene, and myrcene compounds. The users add it to Alcoholic Beverages (like gin) to enhance the flavor.

Juniper leaf essential oil is a colorless mobile liquid that smells fresh, balsamic and woody. People have used this oil as an antiseptic and diuretic for centuries. The oil contains a-terpinene, bornyl acetate, camphene, cineole, and myrcene compounds and works as an astringent and toner for skin. Juniper leaf oil has a medicinal green aroma compared to juniper berry essential oil. The users add it to dermal ointments and cosmetic formulations.

The essential oil is of greater therapeutic value when it is steam distilled from the berries of the juniper tree. So the better choice is Juniper Berry essential oil :)
