Although being a native German I never had heard the word "Mädesüßöl"
before... After a look into a dictionary it is this:
"Mädesüß" is a plant, a kind of a rose.
"Öl" is oil.
Both packed together into a German "Nominalkompositum", which is a
nominal compound. Great fun fornonnativespeakersofGerman.
So it's simply a kind of rose oil. Don't know if that one tastes sweet.
Schöne Grüße,
Uwe
