BALSAM FIR | Essential Oil

Balsam Fir changed the way I think about freshness in fragrance. It showed me that freshness doesn't always have to come from citrus; it can come from evergreen branches, resin, and the feeling of cool outdoor air.

I also discovered how easily Balsam Fir can change the feeling of a blend, bringing an evergreen character that naturally leans toward winter.

Balsam Fir appears in my Centered, Settle, and Autumn Hearth blends. I use it differently in each...from adding freshness to deeper woods to giving Autumn Hearth its distinctly evergreen character.
