The essential oil of Artemisia Vulgaris is a pale yellow or almost colorless liquid.
The odor is powerful, fresh-camphoraceous, somewhat green and bitter-sweet, with a cedarleaf-like topnote and a sage-rosemary-like bodynote. The dryout is very pleasant, sweet-herbaceous and tealike.
The flavor of Artemisia Vulgaris Oil is warm, almost pungent, but also bitter-sweet, showing a slightly cooling effect in higher dilution.
The essential oil is used in perfumery to add freshness and warmth to lavender-colognes, chypres, fougéres, pine fragrances, etc. Artemisia Vulgaris Oil blends excellently with oakmoss, patchouli, rosemary, lavandin, isobornylacetate, pine needle oils, sage clary, Spanish sage, coumarin, decylalcohol, etc.
Artemisia Vulgaris Oil finds some use in flavors, although it is conceivable that its thujone content may one day prohibit its use in food. A suggested use level in flavors is about 1.00 to 2.00 mg%, and the Minimum Perceptible is about 0.20 to 0.40 mg.
An essential oil is steam distilled from the dried herb.
