Black Spruce Essential Oil

Adam Michael has this to say “The opening notes are intense vegetative, comparable to freshly picked runner beans with a geranium leaf mustiness quality. This follows with a pickled-sweet, pine resin freshness that is entwined with a spectacular fruity nuance. This fruity nuance is full of juicy plums, apricot jam and sultana character with an injection of methyl n methylanthranilate  – found in petitgrain mandarin oil amongst other oils. By the hour mark the aroma is sweet menthol fresh (comparable to the smell of vicks vaporub) and displaying qualities of pine absolute.

Adds distinctive freshness to the top note in a wide range of accords including lavender, citrus, geranium and fougere.”

Water white in colour, of a pourable viscosity, excellent tenacity and produced by steam distilling the twigs and needles from the black spruce tree.
