Santolina organic – 10ml

Santolina is a low shrubby perennial from the Mediterranean with tiny yellow, button like flowers, grown for its distinctive aromatic foliage and used as edging in knot gardens. Flowers aside the plant has a striking coral-like appearance and is visually a rather beautiful plant.

Although this plant is commonly known as cotton lavender the aroma has little aromatic similarities to lavender. The major constituent is artemisia ketone accounting for a third of the oil and of which in isolated form exudes herbaceous, berry, honey and light mint qualities. Produced by steam distilling all aerial parts, sunshine yellow in colour and of a pourable viscosity.
