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
