Tagetes Oil

Tagetes Essential Oil is derived from the Tagetes glandulifera plant that is also known as Marigold. This annual plant has feather-like dark green leaves and it bears flowers in yellow, orange and white colors. The plant grows up to a height of 30 cm and is native to Egypt. Today, the plant is cultivated all over the world. The steam, flowers, and leaves of the Tagetes glandulifera plant are steam distilled to obtain its essential oil. It is golden yellow in color and diffuses a fruity aroma.
Aromatically, Tagetes Essential Oil possesses a fresh, sweet, floral, slightly fruity aroma. I find that it blends well with essential oils in the citrus, floral and wood families..
