    A small, common plant that grows along roadsides and is commonly cultivated in Europe and Western Asia. Known and used in ancient times and considered a sacred plant in Germanic and Nordic mythology, it colours the landscape with its white flowers with a yellow heart. Its deep blue essential oil offers herbaceous and honeyed aromas, tinged with a slight bitterness.

    Our opinion

    One of the few "blue" essential oils in the repertoire, with bluish-green nuances due to the presence of chamazulene.

    Botanical family: Asteraceae
    Latin name: Matricaria chamomilla (Matricaria recutita)
    Other names: German chamomile, blue chamomile, scented mayweed
    Origin: Balkans, France
    Cultivation: Controlled organic agriculture - Certisys-BE1 control
    Distilled part: Flowering aerial part
    Production process: Steam distillation
    Quality: 100% pure, natural and chemotyped
    Olfactory notes: herbaceous, honeyed, slightly fruity and bitter

    Do not confuse it with Wild Chamomile, Ormenis mixta, or Moroccan Chamomile; or with Roman Chamomile or Noble Chamomile, Chamaemelum nobile. Another possible confusion is with the essential oil of Annual Tansy, Tanacetum annuum, sometimes also called Moroccan Chamomile or Blue Chamomile.
