Description
Coriander essential oil is steam distilled from the crushed, ripe seeds of Coriandrum sativum. It has a warm, sweet, spicy-herbaceous aroma with a fresh, faintly citrus lift, and sits as a middle note that adds warmth and brightness to a blend.
Its refreshing, comforting aroma is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with uplifting the mind and easing mental fatigue, and it is popular in warm, spiced diffuser blends with citrus, ginger and woods. It may irritate sensitive skin, so dilute well and patch test first.
