Abstract
Sources attribute different botanical characteristics to oenanthe and bakkaris, two aromatic plants prized and used in perfumery, which have led scholars to advance numerous identification proposals. This article revisits the issue by gathering available data, considering the cosmetic and medical uses of the two plants, and taking into account the various identification hypotheses. It seeks to bring new elements to the debate, offering a clearer botanical profile of the two plants and identifying the parts used in perfumery and the products for which they were intended.File in questo prodotto:
