Oil of Coriander (Oleum Coriandri)
has a pale yellow color and a burning, sharp, aromatic taste. Like oil of cubebs (oleum cubebæ), oil of dill (oleum anethi), and oil of fennel (oleum fœniculi) which latter also has a rather low congealing point (-8° C. or +17° F.), this oil is used less in perfumery than for scenting soap and in the manufacture of liqueurs. But it should be noted that these oils, as well as those of bergamot, caraway, star-anise, and some others, could well be employed for cheap perfumes and for scenting soap. Oil of dill also finds application alone in the preparation of some face washes, and the dried fennel herb in cheap sachets.
