About celery seeds
Celery seeds, derived from the small, brown seeds of the celery plant, Apium graveolens, possess a complex olfactory profile that is both spicy and earthy, with a hint of bitter freshness. This note is celebrated for its ability to impart a crisp vegetal depth to fragrance compositions, often serving as a bridge between aromatic and spicy elements within a perfume. Its natural affinity for green and herbal notes makes it a versatile ingredient in the perfumer's palette, enhancing freshness and adding an intriguing, earthy undertone to both masculine and feminine scents. In perfumery, celery seeds are valued not just for their unique aroma but also for their ability to add longevity and complexity to fragrances, making them stand out in a crowded market.

Perfumer's Tips
Celery seeds are best used in moderation within a fragrance composition to avoid overpowering other notes. They excel in adding a subtle, vegetal crispness to fresh, aromatic, and green fragrances. Layering with citrus or herbal notes can amplify their freshness, while combining with woody or musky notes can enhance their earthy qualities.
