Жовтозілля
Green-herbaceous, faintly bitter, with a chrysanthemum-like dryness. The smell of roadside wildflowers — unromantic, weedy, and honest.

Цікавий факт
The name Senecio comes from the Latin 'senex' (old man), referring to the white-haired seed heads of common groundsel. Many Senecio species are toxic to livestock due to their pyrrolizidine alkaloids, causing 'seneciosis' — a chronic liver disease responsible for significant cattle losses in South Africa and Australia.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
No commercial essential oil or absolute is produced from Senecio species. Many senecio species contain hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which would pose safety concerns for extraction. The note is always reconstructed from synthetic and natural green-herbaceous materials.

У парфумерії
Senecio is a conceptual note rather than a practical ingredient. No commercial extract exists. When referenced in fragrance descriptions, it carries wildflower-meadow atmospherics — green, weedy, slightly bitter. Perfumers approximate the character using green-herbaceous materials, chrysanthemum accord elements, and bitter-herbal notes like chamomile and wormwood. It functions as an atmospheric modifier in meadow-green and wildflower compositions.
