Fire Tree

  • Country of origin : Australia
  • Olfactory Family : Balsamic
  • Harvester : Behave
  • Harvested part : Resin
  • Main application : Diffusion

Fire Tree infusion (Xanthorrhoea Preissii) is made from the resin of an iconic tree in south-western Australia, commonly known as the Balga. This plant symbolises fertility and renewal in Aboriginal culture and owes its reputation to its remarkable resistance to fire. During Australian bushfires, the plant secretes resin in abundance. This resin spreads around the tree trunk in the form of what are known as claws. These protect the heart of the Fire Tree and, by extension, the animals that come to seek refuge there. This ability allows the tree to recover very quickly and even promotes flowering.

 

Beyond this extraordinary phenomenon, there is a second miracle for scent enthusiasts like us. Not only does the fire protect the Fire Tree, it also transforms the scent of its resin to create a perfume in its own right. These claws give off a magnificent, unique fragrance, somewhere between woody and smoky with delicate balsamic notes. An astonishing material that testifies to the power of nature and the evolution of scents in their environment. A marvel to be discovered exclusively at Le Sourceur.

OLFACTORY DESCRIPTION

If there is one raw material at Le Sourceur that you won’t find anywhere else, it’s Fire Tree. A symbol of renewal in the Australian bush, the fragrance of this resin is simply splendid: heady and aromatic from the outset, the bouquet is as rosy as geranium, even evoking fruity facets of lychee. The evolution is substantially balmy, waxy like honey and syrupy like maple. But above all, the whole is devilishly smoky and woody: its slow evaporation is beautifully stable, providing the ideal backbone for unforgettable creations.
