About

Erigeron (fleabane) is the steam-distilled oil of a roadside weed in the daisy family. It smells herbal and green with a sharp lemony lift on top. The lemon does not read clean. A weedy, medicinal roughness sits under it and keeps the oil on the herb side of citrus.

Scent Profile

Erigeron smells herbal and green, like a meadow field of crushed leaves, sitting between lemon verbena and wild thyme. A sharp lemony citrus lift sits on top, but it never reads as clean citrus. A weedy, medicinal roughness keeps it on the herb side rather than the fruit side. A faint peppery freshness shows at the very back.

Origin

Distilled from the flowering herb of Erigeron species, Erigeron canadensis (Canadian fleabane). The plant is wild-crafted rather than farmed. Limonene is the main constituent, reported at 40-70 per cent, with trans-alpha-bergamotene and other sesquiterpenes behind it.
