The oil of Ormenis Multicaulis is a pale yellow to brownish yellow, mobile liquid.
The odor of the pale oils is fresh-herbaceous, slightly camphoraceous, but soon changes into a sweet, cistus-like and rich-balsamic undertone which is very tenacious and pleasant, almost ambra-like.
Moroccan Chamomile Oil blends well with artemisia oils, cypress oil, labdanum products, lavandin and lavender, vetiver oil or derivatives of cedarwood oils, oakmoss products, olibanum, etc. The oil finds application in citrus-colognes, ambre-, chypre-, fougére-bases, as well as in a multitude of other bases where a fresh modification of ambre-herbaceous notes are called for.
Distillation is carried out locally where the plant is most common, i.e. in the northwestern parts of Morocco. The flowering tops, harvested at the beginning of the inflorescence, are steam distilled.
