Armoise (Mugwort) - Wild EO

Artemisia herba-alba Asso

(3)

Artemisia herba-alba is a specific Artemisia species indigenous to Morocco that provides the essential oil known as Armoise (Mugwort). Ours has a very fresh, cool, soft green, sweet-camphoraceous aroma that is highly diffusive in much the same way as Peppermint, however while the aroma has a very potent initial effect, this subsides after a few minutes of exposure to air.

Product Overview

Artemisia herba-alba is a specific Artemisia species indigenous to Morocco that provides the essential oil known as Armoise (Mugwort). Ours has a very fresh, cool, soft green, sweet-camphoraceous aroma that is highly diffusive in much the same way as Peppermint, however while the aroma has a very potent initial effect, this subsides after a few minutes of exposure to air. In natural perfumery, Armoise can be used in trace amounts to provide 'lift' to top note accords; to add a fresh, green, naturalness; and to accentuate other green notes such as Galbanum, Common and White Sage, Rosemary, etc.

The aroma of Armoise may be calming when used in very highly diluted (0.25 percent[1]) applications. It contains appreciable amounts of several monoterpene ketones, including camphor (borneone) and alpha- and beta-thujone[2], and therefore Armoise essential oil must be used with great care and respect. Please see Safety Considerations for further information.

A new love affair with Armois

Rating

Upon first whiff I knew- The cloudy skies parted -dull days and fragrant doldrums were forgotten! The joyous herbal cacophony near overloaded me with olfactory happiness.... The herb that was satisfy so many perfume needs. Cool and fresh & green, citrus, mint & tea - rosemary & wine- I just wanted to throw this on some hot rocks in a sauna and then jump the snow.... are you getting my olfactory drift? I am in love!

Review by Vireo 12/11/2020

really interesting!

Rating

used this as a middle/top note in a fougere perfume, and love it! It blends very well with funky (musty,fungal) notes like Cepes absolute and the Petitegrain Mandarin from Eden. Really enjoy blending it in minute quantities (0.5%) alongside bright greens like Galbanum and Cilantro.

Coniferous, Eucalyptus-like

Rating

Armoise (Mugwort); I thought this might be my least favorite of the bunch when I ordered it, but I wanted to give it a try (I'm not one for herbal notes usually) I was thinking about using it in lunar and clairvoyant blends and I was right; at first. My first impression was EUCALYPTUS! I hate Eucalyptus. But more and more I thought of Spruce or Fir needle oils. When it dried down it got fresh and green, but it was very fleeting overall. Definitely a top note. It has actually started to grow on me now that it reminds me more of conifers.

Base Notes in Perfumery - it's all about that base

When you first apply a perfume, you may notice a burst of citrusy freshness or the fullness of heady florals. But once these inviting top and heart notes begin to dissipate, the deepest and most profound notes slowly emerge,

Flower Aromas – Oils for Your Love Language

American poet Park Benjamin Sr. once wrote that “Flowers are love’s truest language.” The quintessential gift, ceremonial offering, and symbol in art and décor, the natural beauty and delicate nature of flowers have a way of expressing deep emotion without words.
