Origin

Dill essential oil is typically extracted from the seeds or leaves of Anethum graveolens through steam distillation. The plant is cultivated in temperate regions, with major production in Europe, India, and the Mediterranean.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use dill primarily as a top or heart note to impart a crisp, aromatic greenness to compositions. It blends well with other herbs, citruses, and some woods, and is valued for adding complexity to fougère, chypre, and green fragrances.
