🌿 Introduction
Tagetes Essential Oil, distilled from the vibrant flowers and leaves of the Tagetes minuta plant — also known as Marigold or Mexican Marigold — is a radiant, herbaceous, and slightly fruity oil celebrated for its balancing and cleansing energy. Its aroma is both floral and green , blending notes of ripe fruit, hay, and wild herbs to create a scent that feels simultaneously rustic and uplifting.
Traditionally used in South American and Indian healing rituals, Tagetes oil carries a protective and purifying symbolism . In perfumery, it is a powerful modifier note , adding brightness, natural freshness, and a touch of warmth to floral, chypre, and fougère compositions. In aromatherapy, it's valued for its antimicrobial, antifungal, and emotionally clarifying qualities.
At Herbsmetics, Tagetes Essential Oil is featured in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests experience how this golden flower of the sun adds both character and light to natural fragrances.
