Description & Scent Profile:
Steam-distilled from wild-harvested needles of the native Canadian Black Spruce (Picea mariana), this iconic conifer essential oil captures the crisp, resinous, and invigorating essence of the northern boreal forest. Rich in naturally occurring Bornyl acetate, Camphene, and alpha-Pinene, Black Spruce features a clean, forest-fresh aroma with sweet, balsamic undertones.
