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.

A very soothing, grounding oil, and very beautiful

Rating

This fir balsam is an incredible oil. I find it extremely comforting. It reaches deep into your heart and tells you everything will be okay. I have purchased both the solid absolute and the 10% and I do prefer the undiluted material because I like to use it at a slightly greater than 10% concentration. Although the prediluted oils are a great value, I find they are sometimes inconsistent. I’ve received samples, for example of the dilution, that are much more concentrated than the diluted oils I have subsequently purchased. But the 10% dilution is still very beautiful, and this particular absolute has to be greatly heated to dilute, so you have to be prepared to put the effort in if you want to dilute it on your own. This is one of the most beautiful oils I have ever smelled and I would not be without it. I especially recommend it for support in dealing with grief. It is great for blending as well.
