Fir Balsam Absolute

Fir Balsam Absolute, derived from the balsam fir tree (Abies balsamea), is a valued aromatic extract largely used in perfumery and aromatherapy. This resinous extract is obtained by steam distilling the gum gathered from the balsam fir, known for its vivid, refreshing, and crisp aroma.

The scent profile of Fir Balsam Absolute is predominantly woody and balsamic, infused with a distinctive evergreen freshness that closely mimics the invigorating air of forested mountains. It encapsulates subtle resinous and sweet undertones, which add a rich complexity to its mainly fresh and clean fragrance. This makes it an excellent middle or base note in perfumery, providing depth and warmth to scents.

Aside from its use in fragrances, Fir Balsam Absolute is also appreciated in aromatherapy for its soothing properties, believed to help relieve stress and respiratory issues. With its comforting green and woodsy notes, it is ideal for creating a serene, nature-infused ambiance in any space.
