Description
Fir Needle essential oil is steam distilled from the needles of the Siberian fir, Abies sibirica, sourced from Russia. It has a fresh, sweet, woody, coniferous aroma, rich in bornyl acetate and pinene, and sits as a top to middle note.
Its clean, uplifting evergreen scent is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with refreshing and reviving the mood, and it is a favourite for winter and forest-themed diffuser blends and natural home fragrance. It pairs well with other conifers, citrus and herbs. It can sensitise the skin as it oxidises, so keep it tightly capped and patch test first.
- Fresh, sweet, woody, forest-like aroma
- Crisp top to middle note for evergreen blends
- Traditionally associated with refreshing and reviving the mood
- Pairs well with cedarwood, eucalyptus, juniper berry and lemon
Blends well with: Bergamot, cedarwood, cypress, eucalyptus, frankincense, juniper berry, lavender, lemon, pine, rosemary and sage
