Tagetes is an herbaceous plant that originally grew on the lands of South America and particularly in Mexico. Today it is cultivated mainly on the African continent. Its flowers can be distilled to deliver a multifaceted essential oil. Its fragrance is fresh and fruity, with green and flowery undertones. Still little used in perfumery, tagetes is nevertheless a raw material that gives a real olfactory boost to a composition. We find its freshness and originality in the eau de parfum alfred kafé.
