Marigold Tagetes E.O Extra
Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma of marigold tagetes is full of rich saturating character, resinous fruity, fruit boozy and herbaceous floral. Deep yellow to amber in colour, produced by steam distilling both the leaves and flowers and of a pourable viscosity.
Throughout Africa this plant is commonly referred to as ‘khaki bush’, a weed with deeply divided deep-green feathery leaves and numerous yellowish-orange carnation-like flowers. The leaves and flowers are a good insect repellent and are often seen hanging from native huts to deter swarms of flies and mosquitoes.
The therapeutic properties of marigold tagetes are rather great, anti-microbial, anti-spasmodic, antiseptic, insecticide and sedative. Also used for chest infections, coughs and catarrh, dilating the bronchi, facilitating the flow of mucus and dislodging congestion and can be used in cases of skin infections. It has a healing effect on wounds, cuts, calluses, blisters and bunions. It is an ingredient of many foot treatment preparations and is also used in some perfumes. The list of therapeutic uses is truly vast.”

Herbaceous: slightly minty at the start, fruity, clary sage/green tea leaves
– Dryness of saffron & tobacco, and somewhat remotely powdery to my nose
– Boozy and honey-like warm and sweet
– It does wonder to floral and resinous compositions. – I also tried with some wild Hainan (sinensis) oud oils in some experiments – especially the bitter, floral and resinous ones – quite beautiful outcomes.

Better than the flower! And I love smelling tagetes!
It greets with honey nuances – from within them a beer aroma arises. It gradually removes itself in favour of: well, Its Herbaceousness – tagetes. Very warm, somewhat fruity and sweet tagetes that later on becomes even warmer. It arrives to what I would imagine a sap-resin hybrid of tagetes would smell like.
Interesting.

Perfect blend of something sweet like honey with drop of bitterness. Deep, smooth, warm. Very sensual

A great batch – with zinging clarity and transparency (along with the potency) to its ‘ring’;
Versatility is the name of its game –
Rich in ‘gusto’, complex and ornate, robust and clarion, multifaceted with plenty of provoking edges – I consider Tagetes a ‘secret weapon’ type of essence – not the most common ingredient – neither in Perfumery nor Aromatherapy, in the right dosage (light-handed and on the delicate side of nuancing) Tagetes provides a spectacular – theatrical sense of excitement and a syncopated – unexpectingly shifting – entertainment in about any composition – It can be ‘vintage’ or ‘novelty’, it can be exotic spice in the Gourmand or a twist in Leather;
It can shift the equilibrium of the entire composition either down with its substantive power, or enliven the heavy and dense one up with its nearly luminescent side of character;
It can be hidden near-the-threshold hint that make people wonder, and it can very easily play a leading part over the chorus of any other material, not overpowered even by spices.
What a multi-lingual ‘Oomph’ of an essence! 🙂
