Sweet Wormwood Essential Oil (Artemisia annua L.) is a concentrated natural aromatic product with a distinctive green, herbaceous and slightly bitter scent. Artemisia annua L. is the accepted botanical name according to Plants of the World Online, Kew.
The oil is obtained by steam distillation of the aerial parts of the plant, including fresh leaves and stems. It is used in professional aromatic, cosmetic and specialised formulations where a clear green-herbal note with a characteristic wormwood profile is desired. It should be distinguished from other wormwood species, as the genus Artemisia includes different plants with different chemical profiles.
Scientific sources describe Artemisia annua L. essential oil as highly variable in composition. Reported volatile constituents include artemisia ketone, camphor, 1,8-cineole, α-pinene, β-selinene and germacrene D, with the final profile depending on origin, plant material and production conditions.
