At ESAS, we source each ingredient with intention, looking for aromatics that don’t just smell beautiful, but carry a story. Our Chamomile is one of those rare botanicals that speaks in soft, warm layers. Distilled from Anthemis nobilis flowers grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, this ingredient brings a comforting, fruity-herbal luminosity to our fragrances that feels both nostalgic and quietly refined.
Aroma: Sweet, Warm, and Comfortingly Familiar
Roman Chamomile essential oil is known for its powerfully diffusive, fresh, sweet-warm aroma, with notes reminiscent of green apple peel, pear skin, and sun-warmed herbs. Its beautifully balanced drydown gives it a rounded, natural sweetness - never cloying, always soft.
From Meadow to Bottle: A Family-Crafted Distillation
Our Roman Chamomile is steam distilled from freshly harvested flowers cultivated in the Pacific Northwest, where cool mornings and long sunny days coax out the plant’s most aromatic expression.
When first distilled, Roman Chamomile oil can appear pale blue or green, a natural shift that gently fades into a colorless to pale yellow, transparent liquid. Its aroma, however, remains effortlessly vibrant from the first drop to the last.
A Botanical With Soul
For centuries, Chamomile has been associated with peace, love, and emotional balance. Its scent is grounding yet cheerful - often loved by children and adults alike for its comforting, familiar softness. Many say it soothes irritability and helps melt impatience, encouraging a sense of ease and warmth.
