Sclareolide is a sesquiterpene lactone natural product derived from various plant sources including Salvia sclarea , Salvia yosgadensis , [1] and cigar tobacco. [2] It is a close analog of sclareol, a plant antifungal compound. [3]

It is used as a fragrance in cosmetics [4] and has been more recently marketed as a weight loss supplement, though there is no clinical evidence to support this effect.
