Chemical Properties | Artemisia oil (Armoise oil) is obtained by steam distillation of the herb
Artemisia herba-alba Asso (Asteraceae) that grows wild in Northern Africa,
mainly in Morocco, which produces ~30 t/yr, 70% of worldwide demand. It is
a light yellow to yellow liquid with a light herbaceous odor characteristic of
thujone.

The major components of artemisia oil are the ketones camphor (15–40%) and α- and β-thujone (together 70–25%). Since A. herba-alba
exists as various chemotypes, the composition of the oil may vary widely.
Artemisia oil is used in fairly large amounts in fine fragrances (e.g., for chypre notes).
