Description
Originating from the Mediterranean Sea basin, a plant known as the immortelle or Italian strawflower is cultivated in the Balkans for perfumery purposes. Its name comes from its tiny, golden-yellow flowers that never wilt. Their dark, spicy, intoxicating scent evokes thoughts of curry, sandy dunes, or Corsican maquis.
Discover the various facets of this wild flower from the perspectives of multiple fields of knowledge: botany, history, mixology, agriculture, chemistry, and of course, perfumery.
