Tagetes Oil
Description
A strong, warm, sweet-herbaceous, distinctive ketonic (pungent) odor with a very powerful fruity undertone, reminiscent of green apple. Despite its unusual pungency, it's used extensively in French perfumes, although in minimal amounts.
Tagetes essential oil contains about 47% ketones and many secondary compounds, including monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, oxides and phenols.
The oil finds use in certain types of herbaceous fragrances, e.g. fougère, lavender, etc. and occasionally in florals such as jasmine, gardenia, chypre, violet, etc. where the herbaceous green notes play an important role.
