Wild chamomile from Morocco is not a true chamomile. It is Ormenis, a related genus of the daisy family. It carries neither the chamazulene of German chamomile nor the angelate esters of Roman chamomile, and should not be substituted for either.
01 · Origin
Ormenis multicaulis and Ormenis mixta are annuals of north-west Africa and the western Mediterranean, growing wild on open ground in Morocco. This oil is distilled from the blossoms of wild plants gathered in Morocco.
02 · Chemistry
Alpha-pinene and santolina alcohol lead. Santolina alcohol, an irregular monoterpene, gives the oil its distinctive character. 1,8-cineole adds a fresh, eucalyptus-like edge. trans-beta-Farnesene and limonene follow.
03 · In Practice
Sweet, herbaceous and balsamic, with a fresh, slightly sharp edge. A middle note. Diffusion, massage blends, bath preparations and natural perfumery. Comparative work alongside Chamomile blue (No. 1680) and Cape Chamomile (No. 1346) clarifies the scope of the name chamomile. Blends with lavender, cypress, cedarwood, frankincense, clary sage, vetiver and labdanum.
