Basecamp Botanicals

Where nature meets business
A guide for businesses through the complex world of essential oils and spices

What I Do

I help companies bridge the gap between natural ingredient production and market demand. Turning botanical knowledge into sustainable business opportunities.

I'm Joel Esteban, a Flavor & Fragrance specialist with a lifelong passion for the world of essential oils and their origins. For over 16 years I've worked at the crossroads of nature and commerce, helping others understand the value of authenticity. I connect producers, materials and markets to create meaningful, sustainable relationships.

Basecamp Botanicals is my way of sharing that journey.
– Where nature meets business –

From Lavender fields in Provence to Cinnamon farms in Sri Lanka, my work takes me across the landscapes that shape the world of scent. Each encounter with growers, spice producers, distillers, and industry professionals deepens my understanding of the value behind every spice. These moments reflect the essence of what I do: connecting people, places, and purpose.

Say Hello.

Let’s connect and explore how nature and business can grow together.
