A small perennial plant, well acclimatised in Central and Western Europe, which likes sandy soil and sunny areas. Prized in ancient Egypt and Greece, it was also considered sacred by the Gallic druids. Its delicate, light white flowers with a yellow heart give us an exceptional essential oil, with powerful floral aromas and a mixture of warmth and sweetness.
