Sesame seed absolute has an irresistible scent - nutty and reminiscent of roasted peanuts, with balsamic and coffee notes. Caution: Do not eat yourself or your Lush product.
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is a strong-smelling flowering herb. Native to sub-Saharan Africa, it is highly drought-resistant and is considered the oldest oilseed crop ever cultivated by man. Growing up to three feet tall, the grass produces seed capsules that suddenly burst to disperse the seeds far and wide.
