Plant with shapely, finely divided, deeply cut leaves with a cluster of small pink flowers. The essential oil is distilled from the aromatic, freshly cut young plant tops. The plant material can be left in the field to partially dry before distilled so the fragrances are more intense. The final aroma can depend on the variety being distilled as well as the age of the leaves and stems being distilled. The essential oil is concentrated in the young growth and will turn from a lemony rose to a rose-type aroma when crushed
