Carrot Seed oil, Hydrodiffused France 

This carrot oil is unique in that the hydrodiffusion in a copper distillation unit gives it a distinct green color and superior odor.  This is the best smelling carrot seed oil you will ever encounter! Slightly sweet top notes, earthy and root-like body notes and a bit woody on the dry blotter. Steffen Arctander describes the lower notes as fatty-oily and spicy. In nature the oil contains significant amounts of terpenes, especially monoterpenes but these are not the deciding factor in the unique carrot seed aroma. French 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.
