Our oil, imported from France, is obtained by steam distillation of the roots. Pale yellow liquid, has a light, slightly peppery top note is attributed to Phellandrene(monoterpene), the dominant component. The middle notes are herbaceous-earthy and woody and "slightly musky animal-like with a spicy undertone." Lactones; minor components occurring in small amounts cause these "special effects" and are probably the reason Angelica Root Oil blends and harmonizes so well.
