Material Notes |
The wild growing plant or cultivated garden shrub, Spiraea Ulmaria, also known as Meadow Sweet or Meadow Goat's Beard, is well known in most temperate and cold temperate countries for its wealth of tiny cream colored flowers which exhale a very strong quite repulsive, sickly sweet. Quite obviously, an essential oil has been distilled from the flowers by steam, but the oil has never attained any importance in perfumery, mainly because of the fact that its main odor principles are readily available and low cost, synthetic chemicals like Salicylic Aldehyde, methyl salicylate and heliotropine. |
