Description
The frilled, lacy umbels of wild carrot (also known as Queen Anne's Lace) create that pale, high summer froth along hedgerows, in meadows and among coastal dunes - and though their roots are edible, they are not as palatable or delicious as the plant's familiar cultivar, the domestic carrot. A sweet, earthy, woody oil can be extracted from the seeds of the plant. With many uses in herbal medicine, the oil brings a distinctively vegetal scent to a fragrance, with just a hint of musk.
