    CAS: 8050-89-3
    Variety: Pseudotsuga menziesii Classification: Heart Note[i]

    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
    Part: Young needles and branches
    Method: Steam distillation at source

    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.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...

    For Trade Use Only

    Our products are intended as building blocks in the perfume creation process; they are not to be applied to the skin undiluted.

    These raw materials are for use by the perfumery trade only.
