Appearance

colorless, rather mobile liquid

Odor

sweet-spicy, aromatic-herbaceous odor, reminiscent of estragon (Tarragon)

Flavor

Sweet goldenrod oil would be of interest mainly for flavorists who could possibly use it as a modifier for anise, basil, estragon, etc. in candy and licorice flavors, “root-beer” flavors for soft drinks, etc.

Uses in perfumery

The oil could find some use in perfumes of fougére type, chypre, l’origan, moss, etc., or in trace amounts in lilac, muguet, etc.

Production

Produced by steam distillation of the flowering herb
