Erigeron (Fleabane) oil, USA
The water-white to pale yellow colored oil presents a sweet-fresh-spicy basil-like top-note. The base-notes are winey-herbaceous and sweet like powdered Licorice. It also resembles Moroccan Chamomile with a Verbena freshness and an ethereal ambra-like undertone.
It is used in perfumes, perhaps because of its complexity and amazing tenacity.
Erigeron blends well with Cardamom, Cilantro, Coriander and Citrus oils adding enigmatic nuances.
Erigeron is produced almost exclusively from wild plants in the USA. It is commonly referred to as Fleabane and Mare's Tail.
EOU is one of the only suppliers of this oil. Beware buying foreign productions of this item. Although it grows in other temperate climates it is seldom commercially produced outside of the United States. Author and chemist Steffen Arctander warns that Erigeron oil sold in Europe is often adulterated.
