Pine Needles

Pine needles offer a fresh, green, and invigorating fragrance note with crisp, resinous, and slightly woody undertones. Their scent profile is sharp, natural, and reminiscent of coniferous forests, adding a clean and vibrant quality to perfumes. Pine needles impart a refreshing and outdoorsy feel and are often used as a top or middle note to provide brightness and an uplifting touch. They pair well with citrus, woody, and spicy notes, contributing to fragrances that are lively, refreshing, and sophisticated.

History & Production: Pine needles have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and aromatherapy for their energizing and purifying properties. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the needles from various species of pine trees, such as Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine). This process captures the crisp, fresh, and resinous aroma that embodies the scent of evergreen forests. In modern perfumery, pine needle oil is valued for its ability to add a green, clean, and natural character to fragrances, enhancing their complexity and evoking a sense of outdoor freshness and tranquility.
