Pine & Fir scent notes

Pine and fir notes smell like a walk through an evergreen forest: crushed needles, sticky sap and cool air. Much of the character comes from pinenes and bornyl acetate, the molecules behind the sweet, balsamic smell of fir needles and a fresh-cut Christmas tree.

These notes sit at the top and in the heart of a blend, and they settle naturally into resin, cedarwood and soft spice. They carry winter and holiday candles and give fresh blends an outdoor edge. Evergreen notes fade faster than woods, so a resinous or woody base helps them last.
