Pine Siberian Oil
Fresh and dry green conifer note with woody, earthy and resinous undertones. Pine Siberian essential oil is often combined with fresh, minty notes and is therefore often found in colognes, chypres or fougères. Its turpentine and woody facets also blend with woody and dry notes such as cedar.
Abies sibirica needs a cold continental climate to thrive as a landscape tree. It can grow to a height of 60 metres and is the most widespread species in Russia. It can withstand temperatures as low as -50°C and grows in moist soils at altitudes of around 2,000 metres. It is the northernmost growing fir in the world, but sometimes starts growing very early and is damaged by late spring frosts.
The luxuriant branches are harvested and distilled from late winter to August, when they contain the highest concentration of essential oil and the forest is accessible (climate conditions). The plants indigenous to the area are harvested in the wild, away from chemical fertilisers and pesticides.
The pine needles are collected from timber that has been felled for other uses. The needles are dried before being distilled. The raw material is processed into essential oil by steam distillation.
Boreal forests are those that form a homogeneous green belt in the circumpolar region. Siberian pine is one of the northern boreal forests, a spectacle of flora and fauna adapted to cold climatic conditions.
