Aroma Profile
Deep, sweet-herbaceous and slightly hay-like, with a fruity undertone. Strong, so a drop or two is enough. German Chamomile is a middle note. It pairs well with Lavender, Geranium, Bergamot, Roman Chamomile, Patchouli and Rose Geranium.
Popular Ways to Use German Chamomile
- Facial and skincare blends: 1–2 drops per 10 ml of jojoba or rosehip oil for a gentle facial oil.
- Body oil and lotion: add to unscented lotions or body oils (see dilution below).
- Diffuser: 1–2 drops with Lavender for a soft herbal evening scent.
- DIY: its natural blue color tints balms and lotions.
Dilution Guide
- Face: about 0.5–1% (1–2 drops per 10 ml carrier oil)
- Body: about 1–2% (3–6 drops per 10 ml carrier oil, or 6–12 drops per 1 oz)
- Always patch test a small amount of your diluted blend on the inner arm and wait 24 hours before wider use.
Size Guide
- 5 ml: a good first bottle for trying the aroma; a few drops go a long way.
Roman vs. German Chamomile: Which Should I Choose?
| Roman Chamomile | German Chamomile (this oil) | |
|---|---|---|
| Botanical name | Anthemis nobilis (Chamaemelum nobile) | Matricaria recutita |
| Aroma | Sweet, fruity and apple-like, soft and herbal | Deeper, herbaceous and hay-like with a fruity undertone; stronger |
| Main constituents (plain words) | Mostly natural esters, the compounds that give it a sweet, fruity scent | Rich in chamazulene, which forms during distillation and gives the deep blue color, plus bisabolol |
| Color | Clear to pale yellow | Deep inky blue |
| Best uses | Diffuser, bath and pillow blends, gentle body oils, natural perfume | Facial and skincare blends, balms and lotions |
| Choose it when | You want a soft, sweet scent to enjoy in the air and in relaxing evening rituals | You want a skincare-focused oil for facial oils and balms, and don't mind a stronger herbal scent and blue color |
Both are USDA Certified Organic and both are from the daisy family, so skip them if you are allergic to ragweed or daisies. Note: German Chamomile's blue color can stain fabric.
