Chinese Angelica Root Essential Oil - Angelica Archangelica | Perfumery Grade

Part of our Professional Perfumers Range — curated for the discerning natural perfumer seeking exceptional depth and rarity.

This distinguished essential oil is obtained through careful steam distillation of dried Angelica archangelica roots, yielding an aromatic profile that is simultaneously peppery, herbaceous, and deeply grounding. Prized by artisan perfumers and aromatherapists alike, this extract contributes remarkable complexity when blended into woody, spiced, or leathery compositions.

The angelica plant originates from the cooler climates of northern Europe, where it thrives in elevated terrain. Cultivated since medieval times, this impressive herbaceous perennial can tower to heights exceeding two metres. Following summer flowering, the roots are carefully harvested during autumn after the first year's growth — the optimal time to capture the plant's full aromatic potential.

Aromatic Character: Opens with a fresh, zesty brightness that evolves into warm peppery spice, settling into an earthy, musky foundation. Functions beautifully as both a middle and base note component.

Blending Suggestions: Harmonises exceptionally with citrus oils, vetiver, patchouli, clary sage, frankincense, and oakmoss. Ideal for oriental, chypre, and fougère accords.
