Origin

Carrot note is typically derived from carrot seed oil, which is steam distilled from the dried seeds of Daucus carota, the wild carrot plant. The oil is primarily sourced from regions such as France, India, and Egypt, where the plant is cultivated for both culinary and aromatic uses.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use carrot primarily in heart and base notes to impart a creamy, earthy dimension to floral, green, and powdery accords. It blends well with iris, violet, woods, and musks, and is valued for adding naturalistic depth and a soft, rooty texture to both feminine and unisex fragrances.
