Carrot Seeds

Carrot seeds come from the plant Daucus carota, commonly known as wild carrot or Queen Anne's lace, which is the ancestor of the cultivated carrot we eat today. The seeds are small, dry, and typically brownish in color, harvested from the flower heads of the plant once they have fully matured and dried.

The scent profile of carrot seed oil, which is derived from these seeds, is complex and unique. It is typically described as earthy, woody, and warm with a slightly spicy and musky undertone. Some people also detect subtle sweet and herbaceous notes in the aroma. Carrot seed oil is often used in the formulation of perfumes and scents for its rich and enduring fragrance qualities. Its distinct scent blends well with other woody and floral essential oils, adding depth and warmth to aromatic compositions.
