Turmeric oil is expected to be deep yellow. It is pale. Curcumin, the pigment of the rhizome, is not volatile and stays in the still. The essential oil is a separate material, built on sesquiterpenes.

01 · Origin

A perennial of the ginger family, Zingiberaceae, native to South Asia and cultivated across the tropics for its rhizome. This oil is distilled in Madagascar from the rhizome of certified organic cultivation.

02 · Chemistry

Ar-curcumene and gamma-curcumene lead. Zingiberene, shared with ginger, follows, with alpha-phellandrene providing a lighter top. The sesquiterpene weight gives the oil good tenacity for a rhizome oil.

03 · In Practice

Warm, woody and spicy, with an earthy, slightly fresh opening. A middle to base note. Diffusion, massage blends, skincare formulation at low concentration and spice accords in natural perfumery. Comparative work beside Ginger (No. 1615) shows two rhizomes of one family. Blends with ginger, cardamom, orange, frankincense, sandalwood and vetiver.
