Fir Balsam

  • Botanical name : Abies Balsamea
  • Country of origin : Canada
  • Olfactory Family : Balsamic
  • Harvester : Behave
  • Harvested part : Needles
  • Main application : Diffusion

The alcoholate of Fir Balsam (Abies Balsamea) is an extract obtained by cold washing of the concrete of Fir Balsam made from the needles of the tree harvested in North America. This old method has been brought up to date by our chief sourceur, and allows us to get as close as possible to the original smell of the tree, and to retranscribe its entire olfactory spectrum.

 

Creamy and leathery, Fir Balsam Alcoholate is ideal for creating perfumes with character or simply to enhance your cosmetic creations. But above all, it will surprise you with its irresistible fragrance, both balsamic and burning.

Olfactory description

Balsam Fir delivers a complex and surprisingly versatile note in perfumery. Here, its alcoholate instantly initiates a dialogue between a burnt, almost leathery wood facet and a smooth, enveloping effect. This contrast, so seductive at first, gradually harmonizes into a throbbing, burning heart.

 

Like a perfume in itself, it comes to lavish fruity notes, sometimes candied, as well as floral and unexpected. This is the singularity of this fragrance, in that its olfactory evolution seems to be reversed : from a fierce and incisive wood, to a soft oriental freshness.
