CARAWAY

Odor Characteristic: The most frequent olfactory description of Caraway seed is that it smells of "rye bread." Definitely spicy, with weedy top notes and fatty undertone. Arctander teaches that all seed oils contain a slightly nauseating faint odor, almost amine-like, which he attibutes to either decomposition of proteins in the germ of the seed or the presence of glycosides or alkaloids.
