Sharp, green and unmistakably parsley-like — a fresh crushed-herb aroma with a peppery, slightly spicy edge and a wet vegetal undertone. Dries down into a softer warm-herbal, faintly earthy nuance.AI · claude-opus-4-7
Perfume and Flavor Materials of Natural Origin, page 311.
Parsley herb oil is a pale yellow or greenish yellow, rarely water-white liquid.
It has a peculiar, warm-spicy, heavy-leafy, yet fresh-herb-like odor, very similar to that of the fresh cut herb.
The flavor is warm, slightly burning and bitter, but it reproduces the natural herb fairly well.
Parsley Herb Oil is used very rarely, if used at all, in perfumery.
It is used exclusively in flavor work: for seasonings, sauces, pickles, meat additives and various spice blends.
This oil is produced by steam distillation of the top of the flowering parsley plant.
