Chamomile oil, Roman, USA
It is a pale blue, mobile liquid with a sweet herbaceous somewhat fruity-warm tealeaf-like odor.
Roman Chamomile blends well with Bergamot, Jasmine bases, Labdanum products, Neroli oil, Sage Clary oil, and Oakmoss products.
The pale blue color of the Roman Chamomile is due to the presence of a hydrocarbon, Chamazulene. Chamomile oils are different from other oils analytically because they have the highest ester value of all essential oils known; about 300. This is because of a high content of butyl-, amyl-, and hexyl esters of tiglic and angelic acids. The ester content is over 80 percent. These esters are responsible for the unique odor of Chamomile oils.
