Absynthe Essential Oil (Wormwood)

Absynthe Essential Oil
Add Items to Cart
Steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops and commonly known as Wormwood and Green Ginger.The colour is a gorgeous marine blue-green and the smell is very fresh, sharp and herbaceous throughout. The smell reminds me off a cross between Cedar Leaf and Chamomile Blue, it actually does contain a minute percentage of Chamazulene which may also explain the beautiful colour. The smell is very addictive and will result in an interesting note for natural perfumers.
Botanical Name: Artesia Absinthium

Origin: France

Safety Data: Abinythe conatains thujone which is potentially dangerous to human beings. If you are to inhale the aroma of Absinythe for to long (5-20 minutes) it can cause headaches, hallucinations, slow down the human senses and leave you feeling extremely high. Should you use this oil in massage or directly inhale the aroma for a prolonged period I would not advise driving at all, this may sound dramatic but the effects this oil can have on the mind state are not to be underestimated at all. Not recommended for use in aromatherapy.
