Upon taking the first whiff, i loved the fragrance of this Carrot Seed Absolute so much that i made a quick poem and here it goes.

“Carrot seed absolute, a golden elixir,
Unveils its heart in a scent of vigor.
warm honey, floral notes with hints of spice,
Aromatic notes that entice and entice.”

Carrot Seed Absolute is sweet, honey, rosy floral with nuances of plum or apricot jam, fruity and spicy.

Upon closer inspection, hints of sweetness emerge, evoking the crisp, fresh scent of newly harvested carrots. This sweetness is delicate and uplifting, balancing the deeper, more grounding notes of the absolute. Together, these facets create a harmonious symphony that captivates the senses and evokes a sense of natural beauty.

Amazing material to create great top note accords.

Extracted by a method of solvent extraction is used to capture the aromatic compounds from the seeds. This method yields a concentrated absolute that retains the complex bouquet of the carrot seed, though it requires meticulous purification to ensure purity and safety.

In perfumery, carrot seed absolute is prized for its versatility. It serves as a valuable base note, anchoring compositions with its earthy warmth and providing a solid foundation upon which other fragrances can bloom. It blends seamlessly with a variety of floral, citrus, and woody accords, enhancing and enriching complex perfume formulations.
