DArtemisia herba-alba Asso - Asteraceae - white wormwood, armoise herbe blanche (fr.)

Upright, shrubby perennial, 0.20-0.40m high, native to Morocco and the Mediterranean region; leaves grey-green, pinnately divided, covered with fine glandular hairs, strongly aromatic.

The essential oil of the herb is used in perfumery as armoise oil: „The steam distillate of the herb called ‘Armoise’ is highly appreciated in fine perfumery for its herbal, aromatic green odour, where the burning freshness of thujone is combined with a rich hay-like undertone.“
