Carrot Seed Essential Oil
Adam Michael has this to say “Carrot seed essential oil is obtained via steam distillation of the seeds. Aromatically carrot seed has a sweet, earthy aroma and is pale yellow in colour. In the world of aromatherapy this e.o is used for its anti-inflammatory properties, revitalises and tones the skin, and is used to treat dermatitis, eczema and rashes.
Carrot seed essential oil has been used to treat ulcerative conditions of the skin and is a good aid to healthy skin and is said to help control flatulence. It is especially useful in spring months, to undo some of the ravages of the cold winds, over-heated homes and workplaces, and a diet that has perhaps been inadequate in vitamin content during the winter months.”

One of my lovely understated favorite (because you know your favorites – roses, nerolis or citruses): a properly original maverick in its misleading nature –
coming from the seeds in the airy parasols of Umbelliferae family, smelling in fact like a complex earthy woodsy essence with full evocative powers of a whole ambience impression, of a artisanal workshop somewhere in Far East (or in ‘the game of Thrones’), where presious papers and woods would be crafted into elaborate reliquaries and illuminated maniscripts, wrapped in Patchouli-infused, freshly embossed leather.
This essence opens on my nose with pleasant vibrancy of greens at front and yellow camphor in background; growing into a melody of woods – from freshly crushed leaves to dry archive shelves’, from Nile papirus to alpine pinewoods – through sweet carved woods’ noblesse at centre.
From the heart down comes a fine powdery note of noble roots (on the orris side of musky variety) and then finally comes to surface a fruity carrot root tint, not a full shade, which reminds me in a general impression another seed oddity – exquisite Ambrette, while never ready to admit that it comes form just a common carrot, always staying true to its centaur-like nature – a zesty seed masquarading as a bittersweet noble wood. Generous, strong and mellow at the same time.
Curious fact – Carrot seed essence was a guarded secret behind the success of one of the most prestigious luxury brands of the past in Skin Care industry, claiming for anti-aging properties of its products – rightfully relying on the proven rejuvenating properties of this oil.

Great unrated note…used in Un Jardin Sur de Nil fom the Master perfumer Jean Claude Ellena.
Carrot seed is an unusual note in perfumery but a beautiful one nonetheless.
Who never try it, please this is a must buy.

I bought this for it’s well-known properties.
As one would expect, this Carrot Seed essential oil seems top quality.
I find the aroma very unique, slightly earthy, slightly herby, and yes slightly carroty!

Take me to your suede-clad leader! This reminds me of the softest green suede jacket that my aunt owned in the sixties. Never have I felt…or smelt suede like this since. Then when that memory is well established the carrot seed takes the role of warm, comforting hillsides giving an odour and a visual of calm, powdery, earthy peace. Huge fan

Breathtaking!
Awakes with a swift blast of sharp, dry herbaceous, medicinal green and camphorous cold wet earth, evolving into an intense shoe shop aroma of new leather, tins of shoe polish and leather balms, mingling with fulsome carrot roots stuck with damp earth.
We then enter a sweet-woody, damp earth of carrots; pressing freshly-pulled organic carrots to the nose, all sweet and softly-spiced with mulch, scented with hints of patchouli and vetiver and brazil nut kernels. The aroma is first moist and cool then becoming warmer, as if an earthy carrot-infused soil is being warmed by the sun, until we are bathing fully in organic carrotiness; an oily carroty dry down before bedding down softly into spiced cinnamon-tinged carrots, slumbering under a smooth tonka bean; a calming powdery carrot wrapped around the deep earthy carrot aroma that has stayed the whole way through.
An enchanting experience on its own, but also adds intrigue and magic as a deep earthy note for woody, earthy, green and floral compositions, especially oakmoss and rose.
