Product Overview

Our organic Blue Yarrow has a diffusive aroma that is sweet, fresh, and green-herbaceous with a woody and somewhat camphoraceous note that becomes sweeter in the drydown; it lends an intriguing nuance in natural perfumery when used in trace amounts.

When Achillea millefolium is distilled, one of the essential oil constituents, matricin (a sesquiterpene), decomposes into chamazulene, its deep vivid blue color a result of the heat and pressure of distillation.[1] Chamazulene is one of the primary components of our organic Blue Yarrow and boasts several skin-beneficial properties; other notable constituents are ß-pinene+sabinene, ß-caryophyllene, germacrene D, 1-terpinen-4-ol, 1,8 cineole, and smaller amounts of many others.[2]

It is said that the Yarrow herb is named after Achilles, a figure in Greek mythology who reputedly used the herb during the Trojan War. The aroma of Yarrow is useful in small amounts in massage blends, joint rubs, and targeted skincare preparations.
