Fresh, sharp green-herbaceous scent with a camphor-like coolness and a soft woody-spicy undertone. Reminiscent of crushed fleabane weeds — grassy, slightly medicinal, with a resinous conifer edge as it dries down.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Erigeron Oil is a water-white or pale yellow liquid.

Odor

Erigeron Oil has a sweet, but very fresh-spicy, herbaceous, basil-like odor. The dryout note is peculiar, winey-herbaceous and sweet, resembling the odor of powdered licorice root. The odor also resembles that of Moroccan chamomile oil in its verbena-like freshness and the herbaceous, ethereal-sweet, ambra-like undertone.

Flavor

The taste is acrid, burning, somewhat sweet but unpleasantly biting, leaving a bitter aftertaste.

Uses in perfumery

The oil of Erigeron Canadensis is occasionally used in perfumes where its peculiar and quite powerful odor may contribute interesting modifications in various types of colognes, fougères, chypres, aldehydic fantasy bases, etc.

Production

The entire overground part of the fleabane plant is steam distilled.
