Chamomile, German
This essential oil was distilled often in Germany from Hungarian raw materials which may explain the term "German" Chamomile. The unique soil and climate of Bulgaria is known for imparting many of the finest nuances in the Industry (i.e. Lavender, Rose). The reason for the deep beautiful blue hue is the natural constituent, a hydrocarbon; chamazulene. The chamazulene content gives German chamomile its most important actions such as soothing, calming and anti-inflammatory. It is widely believed this constituent does not affect the aroma. The odor is intensely sweet, coumarin-like, herbal and slightly fruity. The dry out notes are warm and pleasant like sweet tobacco.
