Fir, Balsam Absolute - 10%

Abies balsamea (L.) Mill.

(11)

The exquisite aroma of our Balsam Fir Absolute surely embodies the revitalizing effects that can be experienced when spending time within the realm of forests.[1] It is sweet, rich, warm, fruity, jam-like, and intensely balsamic with a coumarin-like undertone of excellent tenacity – exactly like the juicy-fresh smell of recently harvested young conifer trees.

Product Overview

The exquisite aroma of our Balsam Fir Absolute surely embodies the revitalizing effects that can be experienced when spending time within the realm of forests.[1] It is sweet, rich, warm, fruity, jam-like, and intensely balsamic with a coumarin-like undertone of excellent tenacity – exactly like the juicy-fresh smell of recently harvested young conifer trees. When used in low dilution, Balsam Fir Absolute imparts a fresh, natural forest fragrance to a vast array of perfume compositions. NOTE: This product is diluted for ease of use and contains 10% Balsam Fir Absolute in 90% Fractionated Coconut Oil – Organic.

The needles and small branches of the stately Abies balsamea conifers found in eastern Canada are harvested for extraction of Balsam Fir Absolute. If you already appreciate the ascendancy of needle oils, with their buoyant and airy terpenes, you will be undone by the evergreen embrace of a thousand trees’ collective olfactory output - this species' greatest gift, and no wrapping paper!

This product is diluted for ease of use and contains 10% Balsam Fir Absolute in 90% Fractionated Coconut Oil – Organic. For the pure and undiluted version of this oil, please see our Balsam Fir Absolute. If you are interested in using Balsam Fir for aromatherapy applications, please see our high-quality Balsam Fir essential oils that we offer.

Pineapple

Rating

I smell pineapple. It reminds me of a gorgeous perfume I had. It was strong, heady and so appealing. Can't remember the name of the perfume, can't wait to try this oil out. thanks, Eden

Jammy

Rating

For 10%, this is a very strong-smelling delicious dilution. I don't think there is a better word than "jammy" to describe this fir absolute. It's sweet but it has that sharp-tart feeling. It's a lovely oil.

Fir Balsam diluted

Rating

This oil smells heavenly. It is strong enough to use the diluted in my blending and is the perfect aroma for my masculine line, although the aroma is perfect for any gender. Love this oil!

JOY

Rating

I absolutely love this absolute. The dilution is quite strong and can be diluted even more if need be. The scent is so joyful and every time I open the bottle, I breathe deeply. It's sweet, green, fresh and coniferous. I find it can lend a special touch to not only forest or green blends, but floral and gourmand types as well.

LOVE!!

Rating

I love the scent of this absolute. As the pure absolute is thick and waxy, the dilution is so much easier to use. And the scent . . . I could bathe in it! Sweet, jammy, green, fresh, coniferous. I LOVE this stuff.
