How does this Astragalus root oil smell? Describe its full aroma profile.
Astragalus root oil offers a soft, sweetly earthy herbal-woody aroma with a warm, honeyed, leguminous undertone and a mild resinous-medicinal finish.
Aroma Description
| Layer | Impression |
|---|---|
| Top | Mild green-legume, fresh rooty, faint honey |
| Heart | Sweet-earthy herbal, gentle woody, warm soybean-milk like note |
| Base | Soft resinous-medicinal, powdery, slightly roasted-bean comfort |
- The signature "bean-y" note comes from hexanal, (E)-2-nonenal and p-cresol-type volatiles — a hallmark of Dao-di Astragalus
- Much gentler and less terpenic than typical spice oils; harmonizes without dominating a blend
- Pairs beautifully with sweet florals (rose, jasmine), woods (sandalwood, vetiver) and amber-resins
