During our trip to Madagascar, we had the pleasure of visiting a distillery where we discovered a magnificent variety of Tagetes essential oil. The hybrid species, Tagetes bipinata, which is a cross between Tagetes patula and Tagetes erecta, is grown in the tropical sun and produces an exceptional quality of essential oil.

The oil has a remarkably smooth and sweet aroma that sets it apart from other types of Tagetes (Marigold) oil. It is considerably less green and significantly sweeter, with a fruity green apple note that adds a unique and delicious touch to any blend. The oil's color is also breathtaking, ranging from light yellow to a rich amber, depending on the harvest season.

Tagetes essential oil is well-known for its insect repellent properties and its ability to aid in the treatment of various skin conditions such as acne, boils, and psoriasis. This is due to its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antimicrobial properties. However, it's important to note that this oil is potent and can cause phototoxic reactions when used in high concentrations. That's why it's crucial to dilute it to a maximum of 0.01% for dermal applications, according to Tisserand and Young's Essential Oil Safety.

This organic Tagetes oil is of premium quality and is ideal for natural perfumes. The Tagetes bipinata hybrid's sweet, floral fragrance makes it the preferred choice for perfumery. Its aroma is not overpowering, and it blends well with other essential oils such as lavender, bergamot, and ylang-ylang. Its versatility in perfumery makes it a must-have oil for any perfumer.

In conclusion, the Tagetes bipinata hybrid produces an exceptional quality of essential oil that is perfect for natural perfumery. Its sweet, floral fragrance, beautiful color, and unique fruity green apple note make it a standout oil. However, it's important to use it responsibly and follow the recommended dilution guidelines to avoid any adverse reactions.
