dōTERRA Celery Seed Essential Oil - 15ml
Celery Seed is steam distilled from the seed of a plant that needs a notably long growing season before it's ready to harvest. It's one of the more unusual, savoury-smelling oils in the range, included here purely for its aroma.
The smell is warm and earthy with a distinctive spicy-green, savoury edge — instantly recognisable as celery, but concentrated into something closer to a spice than a vegetable. It's not an everyday floral or citrus note, and it stands out for exactly that reason.
A couple of drops in a diffuser work well in an earthy or herbal blend, especially with a little citrus to lift the savoury edge. This bottle is for aroma and blending — not for cooking.
