Couldn't load pickup availability
Celery Seed Essential Oil is a distinctive aromatic oil steam-distilled from the seeds of Apium graveolens, a botanical widely recognized for its fresh green and savory aromatic character.
Its aroma is complex and unusual, combining fresh green, herbal and spicy notes with earthy, slightly sweet and seed-like undertones. Compared with leafy herbal oils, Celery Seed Essential Oil is deeper, drier and more concentrated, with a characteristic rooty-green profile that can add originality and natural complexity to fragrance compositions.
It is particularly interesting for natural perfumery, green accords, herbal fragrances, savory botanical blends, earthy compositions and aromatic grooming products.
