The oil is a very dark green to bluish-green or brownish-green color with an intensely herbaceous-green, sharp and fresh top note. The odor is reminiscent of cedar leaf oil but not as sweet and more dry-woody in the body note, giving a very interesting and unique odor for perfumery.
The bluish-green color is due to the presence of a small amount of Chamazulene (generally less than 1%) , which is not present in the herb itself, but generated from Artabsine during the distillation process.
CAUTION: EXTERNAL USE ONLY! and be careful too with topical application. Do your research. Keep away from children & pets. Avoid eyes & mucous membranes. Avoid if pregnant. Highly concentrated - always dilute with a carrier oil.
