Organic Wild Carrot Essential Oil

2 reviews

This large wild carrot, with its white root, grows in fields and uncultivated areas. A biennial plant from our regions, this species is less well known than its cultivated variant, but thus has the double advantage of being organic and ... wild to be precise. Its essential oil has a slightly earthy, woody and intense smell.
