The artemisias form a large genus of aromatic plants, which also includes wormwood and tarragon. Common mugwort, with leaves silvery underneath, yields by distillation an oil with a herbaceous, camphoraceous, slightly bitter scent and a woody facet. It brings greenness and character to aromatic accords.
