Its viscosity varies according to the root material used for distillation and the age of the essential oil. Beneath the peppery top note is a rich, somewhat herbaceous-earthy, woody base note of unique tenacity and great diffusive power. The base note is slightly musky-animal-like with a spicy undertone. Method of Extraction: Angelica Root essential oil is steam-distilled from the dried roots of Angelica archangelica.
