Chamomile

Chamomile brings a gentle, calming, and subtly fruity herbal quality to perfumery that feels soothing and nurturing. There are two main varieties used in fragrance — German chamomile, which is deeper and more herbaceous with a distinctive blue color from its azulene content, and Roman chamomile, which is lighter, fruitier, and more apple-like.

Both carry that instantly recognizable calming quality associated with the beloved tea. In fragrance, chamomile adds a soft, herbaceous sweetness that works beautifully in calming and contemplative compositions.

It pairs wonderfully with lavender for a relaxing herbal blend, with apple for a fruity freshness, with honey for a natural sweetness, with musk for a gentle skin scent, and with green tea for a serene, minimalist quality. You will find chamomile in many soothing, clean fragrances that value gentleness and naturalistic beauty.
