Chamomile (Roman) Essential Oil - Organic (Anthemis Nobilis)
- Roman chamomile from Oregon, USA. A single essential oil from Anthemis nobilis, distilled in Oregon rather than its native Western Europe.
- The flowering-tops oil. It comes from the flower heads, the fragrant part of the plant, so the scent is soft and floral rather than green.
- A gentle, sweet floral. Soft and fruity rather than sharp or herbal, the kind of chamomile scent people hope for.
- An oil we use, not just sell. Like everything in our range, this Roman chamomile is one we use ourselves.
- Organic and outside-lab tested. Certified organic and distilled in small artisan batches, with outside-lab testing on all of our oils.
- The same oil in every size. Pick the bottle size that suits you, and start small if Roman chamomile is new to you.

Roman chamomile, the flower oil of Anthemis nobilis
6 benefits of Chamomile
A soft floral for the diffuser
Roman chamomile is a soft, sweet floral in a diffuser, a scent that fills a room without shouting. A few drops carry a warm, fruity note that reads as a fine chamomile, not a sharp herb. It suits a quiet room as much as a workspace.
Part of a wellbeing ritual
In a simple wellbeing ritual, Roman chamomile is a few drops set going in the diffuser to scent a room. Wellbeing and ritual are how we talk about oils like this one, not a promise of any effect but the place a soft floral takes in a daily habit. There's nothing to it beyond the drops and a little water.
A gentle floral on the skin
Mixed well into a carrier oil, Roman chamomile brings a soft, fruity floral to a skin blend or a personal scent. It sits close and quiet on the skin, more a whisper than a perfume. The flowers can be reactive on sensitive skin, so it's one to go gently with.
Sits under citrus and green herbs
For a perfumer, Roman chamomile works from underneath, a warm, rounded floral that smooths a blend rather than taking it over. It stays low and quiet beneath brighter oils, more support than statement. A drop or two shifts a citrus or herb accord toward something softer and fruitier.
An unusual Oregon flower oil
Grown in Oregon, our Roman chamomile is an unusual find, a good way from the European gardens where the plant is native, and that's what makes it one for the connoisseur. Its label names the species, Anthemis nobilis, and the flower heads it was drawn from, so you know both the plant and the part it came from. That's the sort of detail a careful buyer looks for.
Roman chamomile, not the blue German
Roman and German chamomile are two different plants that people often mix up. This one, Anthemis nobilis, is the ester-rich, pale-yellow oil with a sweet, fruity scent. German chamomile, Matricaria chamomilla, is the deep-blue oil, colored by chamazulene. If you want the soft floral rather than the blue herb, this is the one to pick.
How to use
Diffuser
In the airAdd 3 to 5 drops to a water diffuser for a medium room, then a drop at a time until the scent is where you want it. Run it in bursts, roughly 30 to 60 minutes on and then off, with fresh air moving through the room. Roman chamomile is soft, so you may not need much.
On the skin
TopicalDilute Roman chamomile to 1 to 2 percent for the body before it touches skin, which is 6 to 12 drops in 30 ml of a carrier oil. Keep it lower on the face, around 0.5 to 1.2 percent, and patch test a small spot on the inner forearm a day ahead if your skin is reactive or sensitive. We do not use this oil neat.
Bath
In the waterStir 4 to 6 drops into a tablespoon of carrier oil or unscented bath oil, then add it once the tub is full. Oil and water do not mix, so the carrier is what carries the drops through the water, reaching your skin diluted and not neat. Swirl it through and get in.

3 dropsRoman Chamomile Essential Oil
2 dropsBergamot Essential Oil
2 dropsBulgarian Lavender Essential Oil
Method. Drop the oils into a water diffuser and run it for 30 to 60 minutes. The bergamot lifts the blend and the lavender rounds it out, so the Roman chamomile settles underneath as the sweet floral.
15 mlJojoba Oil or unscented bath oil
5 dropsRoman Chamomile Essential Oil
1 dropBulgarian Lavender Essential Oil
Method. Stir the drops into the jojoba, then pour it into a full tub and swirl before you get in. The lavender rounds off the chamomile without covering it. Rinse the tub afterward, since the oil leaves a film.
30 mlJojoba Oil
10 dropsRoman Chamomile Essential Oil
2 dropsEgyptian Geranium Essential Oil
Method. Mix the drops into the jojoba in a small bottle and roll it between your palms before use. Smooth it over the shoulders or the inside of the wrists, where the soft floral stays close. Keep it capped and out of the sun, and use it within a few months.
Frequently asked questions
7 answers drawn from the product specification and our own use of this oil.
Roman chamomile smells sweet and soft, a fresh, rich, apple-like scent with none of the sharpness people expect from a herb. That apple note is where the plant gets its old name, from the Greek for earth-apple. It settles into a gentle floral rather than a bold one, staying close and warm.
No, Roman chamomile and German chamomile are different species. Roman chamomile is Anthemis nobilis, a pale-yellow oil that smells sweet and fruity, while German chamomile is Matricaria chamomilla, a deep-blue oil with a sharper, more herbal edge. The two come from different plants and smell nothing alike, so it's worth checking which one a bottle holds.
Yes, Roman chamomile essential oil is the flower oil. It's distilled from the plant's flowering heads, not the whole herb, so it carries the sweet, soft scent of the flowers. A label that only says chamomile does not always name the part used, so it's worth checking that yours is the flower oil.
Roman chamomile is a pale, clear yellow because it is rich in angelate esters and low in chamazulene, the blue compound that forms when German chamomile is distilled. Those esters are what carry its sweet, fruity character. German chamomile turns deep blue because it is high in chamazulene, and Roman chamomile is not.
Yes, it is safe on skin once Roman chamomile is diluted in a carrier oil, at around 1 to 2 percent for the body and gentler still on the face. Do a patch test first if you have reactive or sensitive skin, and give it a day before wider use. We never put it on neat.
No, it is not recommended during pregnancy without medical advice, since Roman chamomile is considered likely unsafe to use then. If you are expecting or nursing, talk with your doctor or midwife before using it in any form. When in doubt, leave it out and ask a qualified practitioner first.
Roman chamomile blends well with bergamot, lavender and clary sage, and it sits happily with soft florals, gentle herbs and light citrus. Keep it low in a blend, where it stays quiet and rounds out the sharper oils around it.
