Lovage Essential Oil (Levisticum officinale W.D.J.Koch) is a concentrated natural aromatic product with a strong, warm, spicy and celery-like herbal scent. Levisticum officinale W.D.J.Koch is the accepted botanical name according to Plants of the World Online, Kew.
The oil is obtained by steam distillation of lovage roots, leaves or aerial parts. Its aromatic profile may vary depending on the plant part used. Root oil is usually thicker, deeper and more bitter-spicy, with a distinctive celery-like nuance, while leaf oil is lighter, fresher, warm and sweet-spicy. Scientific sources describe lovage root oil as containing phthalides such as ligustilide, butylidenephthalide, senkyunolide and related compounds, which contribute strongly to its characteristic aroma.
