Wild Moroccan Chamomile is a fairly new addition to the world of aromatherapy, although it has been used in Morocco for generations. It is known as a skin healer and regenerator: and has become a popular addition to skin cremes, natural make up, and all kinds of natural body products.
The first aromatic impression as one inhales, is that of a sweet balsamic, fruity, herbaceous bouquet. Within the next 20 minutes, the aroma becomes richer, more well-rounded and mellow as the heart notes are revealed. After 45 minutes a more distinct apple pear fruity, honey note becomes apparent and linked together with the other sweet balsamic, herbaceous notes presents a lovely ambrosial harvest bouquet.
Deep into the dry out, well after 1 hour, the air remains charged with a fine powdery, ambery, sweet, fruity, herbaceous bouquet. The strength of the aroma is somewhat reduced from the first hour of its aromatic life but remains very much alive for more than 5 hours.
