The species mentioned are primarily those distilled on the island for their essential oil:
Immortelle (murza), Myrtle (morta), Rosemary (rosumarinu), Laricio Pine (lariciu)... Some aromatic plants not distilled in Corsica but famous are also included: Corsican Thyme (erba barona), Common Oregano (carnepula),...
The Corsican names of the plants are those most commonly used on the island, as denominations vary depending on the village! Each plant is presented within its natural environment and located in its botanical family.
The aroma of its essential oil is described based on detailed observations derived from olfaction.
A very detailed therapeutic index, primarily involving Corsican plants and other important extracts, complements this work.
Adorned with beautiful photographs, this book is a wonderful olfactory journey through the Isle of Beauty; it is aimed at botanists, plant producers, doctors, pharmacists, therapists, and, of course, passionate enthusiasts.
