Turmeric
Earthy and warm with a peppery edge, distinctly savoury-spiced.
What Turmeric actually smells like
Turmeric is steam-distilled from the rhizome of Curcuma longa — the same knobbly root ground into the spice most kitchens already stock. Distillation pulls out an earthy, peppery-edged oil that reads as distinctly savoury rather than sweet, closer to the spice rack than to perfumery.
It's an evening note, built for the kind of grounded, low-key warmth that suits winding a day down rather than starting one.

A note on safety
For external aromatherapy use only — never taken internally. Use with care during pregnancy, ideally in a diffuser rather than on skin, and avoid entirely during the first trimester unless a qualified practitioner advises otherwise. Suitable for diffuser and inhalation use for adults and children 12 and over; for younger children, consult a healthcare professional first. Use with caution around pets, and never apply topically to an animal. Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
