A blend of hydrosols for seasonal allergies.
Composed of blue chamomile, roman chamomile and fine lavender hydrosols.
Blue chamomile hydrolate
Belonging to the Asteraceae family, blue chamomile, also known as blue tansy, matricaria chamomile, German blue chamomile or Tanacetum annuum, is a herbaceous perennial plant with finely dissected leaves and fragrant foliage.
It produces striking blue flowers in clusters resembling small daisies. Blue chamomile is mainly grown in Mediterranean regions, notably Morocco, where it is renowned for its aromatic and therapeutic properties.
Blue chamomile hydrosol is obtained by steam distillation of freshly picked flowers. It comes in the form of a clear liquid, varying in color from colorless to pale blue. The aroma of this hydrosol is sweet, herbaceous and slightly fruity, with subtle nuances reminiscent of chamomile.
Roman chamomile hydrosol
Roman chamomile, a member of the Asteraceae family, is a perennial plant with many branches and a bewitching fragrance. It thrives mainly in Western Europe, including France, Belgium, Spain and the UK.
This plant, which usually reaches a height of 10 to 30 centimetres, boasts finely cut, light-green leaves and white flowers with a yellow disk, resembling delicate daisies. The flowers, with their sweet, relaxing fragrance, appear between May and September and are hermaphroditic, bearing both male and female reproductive organs.
Roman chamomile hydrosol, also known as Roman chamomile floral water, is extracted by distillation of the fresh flowers. This clear, colorless liquid gives off a characteristic fragrance, both sweet and slightly herbaceous.
Fine lavender hydrolate
A member of the Lamiaceae family, Lavandula angustifolia P. Miller, also known as true lavender, fine lavender or lavender officinalis, is a perennial sub-shrub with slender, elongated leaves.
It produces violet-blue to light-blue flowers in terminal clusters on long stems. Lavandula angustifolia is grown mainly in Mediterranean regions, particularly France, Spain, Italy and Bulgaria.
Lavandula angustifolia essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from freshly harvested flowers. It is characterized by a limpid liquid that varies in color from colorless to pale yellow. Its fragrance is sweet, floral and herbaceous, with lightly balsamic notes.
