    If you wanted to distill the scent of Christmas, this precious New Zealand Douglas fir oil (Pseudotsuga menziesii) is just that. Despite being unrelated, It melds together aspects of the very best of the two more well-known perfumery products of Siberian fir needle oil (Abies siberica) and fir balsam absolute (Abies balsamea) but adds a wonderful (and unexpected) sparkling citrus note. Every drop exudes the fresh wild scent of nature. This is a superior oil in every way.

    This fir oil is grown and harvested in the pure unspoilt regions of the South Island of New Zealand and uses only young branch tips and needles. It is steam distilled. 

    According to Steffan Arctander, Douglas fir needle oil exhibits “a softness and a sweetness, a very rich bodynote and a great odour tenacity which exceptional for a ‘pine needle oil’.”

    Blends well with: other conifer oils, oakmoss, citrus oils (particularly grapefruit), labdanum.

    Origin: Otago, South Island, New Zealand
    Variety: Pseudotsuga menziesii
    Part: Young needles and branches
    Method: Steam distillation at source

    IFRA 49: No restriction for category 4

    General Information

    Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.

    All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

    Fruity and Citrus.

    I'm not an expert of douglas fir eo, still this one is great! I can smell fruity note reminiscent of isobonyl acetate, but way better in its middle. And at the basenote, this fir eo smells like yuzu marmalade. Quite pleasant!

    One of my all-time favorite conifer oils

    Jamie is absolutely right that this oil is too little known and should actually be much more popular because of its fragrance. It has been well known to me for decades and, together with the oils of Abies grandis and A. alba, is one of my favorite conifer oils. In my estimation, the oil offered here does not differ significantly from high-quality oils from other countries. In comparison with an oil from Austria I have at hand, it smells almost identical, which really is a good thing!

    The special thing about Douglas fir oil is the unusual combination of citrusy-fruity and sweet-floral notes. The relatively high content of fruity esters gives the fragrance a distinct, somewhat 'boozy' feeling (whiskey note). At the same time, the fragrance is characterized by intensely green and, as it progresses, sweetish resinous balsamic aspects. The association with Christmas I can personally rather not understand. (If you are looking for the scent of Christmas trees, I think you should rather look for Abies alba, A. procera or A. grandis).

    Douglas fir oil fits beautifully into fougere compositions!
