Carrot Seed oil, France

Carrot Seed oil, France - As promised new material has arrived. EOU no longer offers the hydro distilled oil. This recent French harvest has a mild sweet top note, earthy and root-like body notes and woody-herbal low notes. As a baseline Dr. Steffen Arctander describes lower notes as fatty-oily and spicy. In nature the oil contains significant amounts of terpenes; especially monoterpenes. However, these do not determine the unique carrot seed aroma. European perfumers use it with chypres, citrus, costus, cassie, mimosa, fougeres, geranium, ionones and methyliones, and cedarwood derivatives. Oriental perfumes and fantasy blends contain small quantities of carrot seed oil. Aromatherapy use is primarily for skin tone, scars, and acne. Carrot seed blends well with Citrus, Fennel, Frankincense, and Geranium.
