Solubility & Blending Suggestions

  • Dilute very well and add drop by drop to your blends until the desired effect is achieved.
  • Soluble in fixed (carrier) oils and alcohol.
  • "In perfumery, celery seed oil is used very frequently, but only in very small amounts [to] impart warm notes in floral and [Amber] compositions, in lavender bouquets, in modern fantasy and aldehydic perfumes, etc. Carelessly used, it may easily ruin a perfume. Its diffusive power and great odor tenacity should not be underestimated."*

    Product Overview

    Celery Seed essential oil possesses a spicy, warm, long-lasting aroma, and is used as a fragrance component in soaps, cosmetics, and perfumes.[1] Limonene is the dominant constituent at about 70%, which puts Celery Seed in the same league as the bright and refreshing citrus peel and fir needle oils. However, it is the quiet and 'peppery' phthalides and β-selinene – influential secondary constituents – that are the critical actors here, imparting both the typical Celery fragrance and much of the effects.

    Apium graveolens is a familiar biennial plant native to southern Europe and cultivated extensively as a domestic vegetable. The essential oil is primarily produced in India, Holland, China, Hungary, and the US.[2] The calming aroma is suitable for massage blends and diffusers, and its earthy qualities have led some perfumers to use it in place of Oakmoss Absolute.

    What is it about the aroma of a freshly brewed cup of tea that feels so uplifting and revitalizing? Perhaps it’s the way the scent slowly unfolds, the memories it evokes, or simply the quiet moment of pause it invites. For many fragrance-lovers, the aroma of tea is a sensory pleasure much like the joy of smelling a perfume.
