The composition

Turmeric is usually associated with cooking, but its essential oil tells a different story. Distilled from the rhizome, this Madagascan oil is warm, spicy and woody, and considerably more elegant than you would expect from a pantry spice.

+ 01 — Origin and botany

Curcuma longa L. belongs to the ginger family (Zingiberaceae). It is a herbaceous plant with a fleshy, deep-orange rhizome, at home in the seasonally dry tropics.

It is not known in the wild: it is a human-made cultigen originating in south-western India, which has spread throughout tropical Asia, the Pacific, the Caribbean and Africa. In Madagascar it is an introduced species.

+ 02 — Extraction and production

The oil is obtained by distilling the rhizome. Turmeric’s orange colour comes from curcumin, a non-volatile pigment that does not pass into the distillate; the aroma, however, does.

+ 03 — Olfactory profile

The neat oil. Warm, spicy and woody.

+ 04 — Uses in perfumery
  • Spicy accords: alongside ginger and cardamom, its relatives in the same family.
  • Warm woods: adds warmth and a spicy nuance to woody bases.
