Chrysanthemum Essential Oil (Dendranthema Grandiflorum)

Chrysanthemum Flower Essential Oil (Steam-Distilled)

Fresh, green, herbaceous floral — a versatile botanical oil for perfume making, skincare formulations, aromatic blends, and refined DIY use.

Our Chrysanthemum Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the blossoms of Dendranthema grandiflorum, valued for its distinctive fresh, herbaceous, green, and gently spicy aroma. Unlike sweeter floral oils, it offers a cleaner botanical profile that works especially well in natural perfumery, botanical skincare, and aromatic blends.

This oil is a practical choice for formulators, perfumers, and DIY creators looking for a green floral note with clarity, balance, and versatility.
