Understanding the material
Eden Botanicals identifies Tagetes minuta for its oil and describes a strong herbal character with a green-apple association. The botanical reference matters: ornamental marigolds are a wider category and a familiar garden flower cannot specify the supplied oil. A fruit-like facet can originate in an aromatic herb without any apple extract being present.
Compare tagetes with blackcurrant bud and galbanum. Separate pungent greenery, fruit association and resinous bitterness.
