Steam-distilled from the leaves and twigs of the Artemisia Vulgaris shrub, Armoise Oil has powerful fresh and green odor. Its aroma is slightly sweet and herbaceous, with a cooling effect most comparable to certain mint varieties. In fragrance, it is commonly used alongside other green ingredients such as Rosemary and Sage for its powerful freshening effects, making it a natural inclusion in herbal soaps, lotions, and perfumes. Its masculine, somewhat woody nuance also makes the oil especially popular among certain colognes and “Oriental” style fine fragrances.
