Description
Blue Tansy essential oil is steam distilled from the flowering tops of Tanacetum annuum grown in Morocco. This rare, highly prized oil gets its deep blue colour from chamazulene, which forms during distillation, and has a sweet, warm, herbaceous aroma with camphor-like top notes. It sits as a middle note.
Its soothing, balancing character is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with relaxation, calm and emotional grounding, and it is popular in evening blends and gentle skin care. It pairs well with florals and herbs such as lavender, geranium and clary sage. A little goes a long way: use it at a low dilution, patch test first, and take care, as its colour can stain skin and fabric.
- Sweet, warm, herbaceous aroma with camphor-like top notes
- Striking deep blue colour from natural chamazulene
- Traditionally associated with calm and emotional balance
- Pairs well with lavender, geranium, clary sage and ylang ylang
Blends well with: Geranium, clary sage, spearmint, ylang ylang and lavender
