Turmeric is a rhizome of the ginger family, and its oil, rich in turmerones, smells warm, earthy and woody, with a gingery sharpness and a dry, peppery bitterness. Curcumin, the pigment that turns curries yellow, contributes nothing to the smell, and in perfume the spice appears only sparingly, where its earthiness grounds spicy and woody accords.
