Carrot
The note, particularly from carrot seed, presents a complex olfactory profile that is at once earthy, rooty, and subtly sweet, often with a distinct powdery or orris-like nuance. It can possess a slightly fatty or waxy undertone, reminiscent of freshly dug soil or a cool, damp root cellar. Its intensity is generally moderate, offering a grounding presence rather than a sharp burst. As it evolves, it tends to soften, becoming more diffusive and less overtly vegetal, settling into a warm, dry, and slightly musky character. It typically functions as a heart or even a light base note, providing excellent longevity and a unique textural depth to compositions. Its projection is often intimate, creating an aura of natural warmth rather than a broad sillage. The 'green' or 'leafy' aspects of the plant are rarely captured in the primary perfumery material, which focuses on the root or seed.
