Cumin Seed Essential Oil 50ml

Latin Name: Cuminum Cyminum  |  Plant Part: Seeds  |  Source: Egypt  |  Extraction: Steam Distillation

Warm, earthy, and richly spiced, Cumin Seed Essential Oil is one of the more unusual and characterful oils in professional aromatherapy. Steam-distilled from the dried seeds of Cuminum cyminum grown in Egypt — one of the world’s oldest cumin-cultivating regions — this oil delivers a deep, warm, spicy-earthy aroma with slightly musky and woody undertones. Distinctive, grounding, and complex.

One of the oldest cultivated spices in human history, cumin has been found in Egyptian tombs dating back over four thousand years and was prized across the ancient world from the Mediterranean to the Indian subcontinent. Its essential oil is a niche but valued ingredient in natural perfumery, oriental-style blends, and specialist aromatherapy formulations.
