Carrot seed oil

Carrot seed oil is the essential oil extract of the seed from the carrot plant Daucus carota.

The oil has a woody, earthy sweet smell[1] and is yellow or amber-coloured to pale orange-brown in appearance.

[2] Rather than the extract the distilled (ethereal) oil is used in perfumery and food aromatization.

[citation needed] Pressed carrot seed oil is extracted by cold-pressing the seeds of the carrot plant.
