FIR
Fir has a fresh, crisp, green, and woody aroma with a sharp, resinous quality. It evokes the scent of a cool forest, with clean, slightly balsamic undertones that are both invigorating and calming. The scent is typically sharp yet smooth, with a natural, outdoorsy character that captures the essence of evergreen forests.
Origin & Extraction
Fir essential oil is typically extracted from the needles and branches of various fir tree species, including Abies alba (Silver Fir) and Abies balsamea (Balsam Fir), primarily found in North American and European coniferous forests. The most common extraction method is steam distillation, which captures the volatile aromatic compounds from the plant material.
