PERFUME  The Hour Of Dusk & Gold

ZAGROS MOUNTAINS, PERSIA

The ancestral home of Wild Carrot Seed is the Persian plateau, a vast, high-altitude region that covers much of the area to the east of the Zagros Mountains.

Now these plants can be found throughout central Asia, Europe and North America.  The roots are white, insubstantial and bitter-tasting.  But the seeds are very surprising.  They smell sweet, softly spicey with an appealing earthiness.  Seldom used in perfume, their oil brings a distinctive note to a fragrance, blending beautifully with other mild spices and floral essences.
