Understanding the material
IFF identifies Artemisia herba-alba for its armoise oil and describes camphor-like freshness followed by greener and pinewood-associated aspects. Artemisia is a diverse genus: this material is distinct from davana, which comes from Artemisia pallens, and from other herbs called mugwort or wormwood. A botanical qualifier is essential when common names overlap.
