Description
Pine essential oil is steam distilled from the needles of the Scots pine, Pinus sylvestris, grown in Bulgaria. It has a powerful, green, fresh evergreen aroma with a dry balsamic undertone, and is a crisp middle note that brings the clean scent of the forest indoors.
Its invigorating aroma is popular for creating a fresh, energising atmosphere, and it is a favourite in diffusers and room sprays through the colder months. It pairs naturally with other woods and herbs such as cedarwood, eucalyptus and rosemary. Pine oxidises fairly quickly and aged oil is more likely to cause a skin reaction, so keep the cap tight, use it within its shelf life and always dilute well.
- Crisp, green, fresh forest aroma with a dry balsamic edge
- Popular for a fresh, energising room atmosphere
- A cosy seasonal favourite for winter diffuser blends
- Pairs naturally with cedarwood, eucalyptus, rosemary and lavender
Blends well with: Cedarwood, eucalyptus, lavender, niaouli, rosemary and sage
