Оман
Camphoraceous, herbal, faintly fruity-sweet. Inula (elecampane) smells like a medicinal herb cabinet with a surprise note of ripe banana underneath the camphor.

Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
Steam distillation or solvent extraction of dried Inula helenium roots. The oil partially solidifies due to crystallization of alantolactone. CO2 extraction preserves more of the fruity top notes. Root must be dried before distillation. Wild-harvested in Central and Eastern Europe; some cultivation in France.

У парфумерії
Inula (elecampane) provides a camphoraceous-herbal heart note with a unique fruity (banana ester) quality. Functions in herbal, medicinal, and complex aromatic compositions. The alantolactone/isoalantolactone chemistry gives it a bitter, camphor-like foundation. The isoamyl acetate trace adds unexpected sweetness. Used sparingly — powerful and particular. Pairs with other herbal materials (wormwood, sage) in bitter-aromatic compositions. IFRA may restrict usage due to sesquiterpene lactone sensitization potential.
