▎Essential Oil Introduction

Goldenrod, also known as Solidago, or "golden wand" and sometimes called "golden border chrysanthemum" or "earth herb," is an evergreen shrub with upright, single stems that branch out and are smooth. Goldenrod is characterized by its "single" flowering stems and clusters of yellow flowers. With over 100 species, it's quite common and widespread, particularly in the northern hemisphere and the Americas. This plant is known for its beautiful yellow flowers and a remarkable fragrance that can be extracted into a high-quality essential oil. This oil is widely used in skincare, body massage, and aromatherapy.

The essential oil is a pale yellow, transparent liquid with a fresh, aromatic, and gentle scent that includes hints of orange blossom, jasmine, and rose. The oil is extracted from the whole plant during its blooming period. Germacrene D is a primary component of the oil, a sesquiterpene molecule derived from pinene, also found in other well-known oils like that of Artemisia absinthium and Taiwan's cypress heartwood oil. It has a delicate, shy aroma reminiscent of geranium and honey, making it a favorite among perfumers for floral notes.
