Black Spruce Essential Oil
Adam Michael has this to say “The opening notes of black spruce essential oil 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.
Black spruce essential oil 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.

Hedione HC (verified owner) –
It is rather noticeable that there tend to be few, if any, reviews here for what are considered simple or inexpensive essential oils. For that reason, I’d like to put in a good word for black spruce oil! Most black spruce oils I have smelled so far have had a characteristic cool, almost camphoraceous–mentholic base note. This one, however, smells distinctly sweeter. What stands out to me in particular is the relatively pronounced proportion of bornyl acetate, a fragrance compound otherwise strongly present in fir oils (Abies), which here quite noticeably dominates the scent.
I am very fond of this oil, as it strikes me as exceptionally harmonious and well‑balanced, with no rough edges. Nevertheless, the aroma is decidedly intense, albeit rather quick to evaporate. For scenting a room – especially a bedroom – it is an excellent choice: it deepens the breath, lightly purifies the air, and has a calming effect on the mind and on restless spirits. In short, this black spruce oil deserves a place in every bedroom.
