## About
One sniff and you are somewhere else, walking through the forest of an old fantasy tale where the trees are tall and the light is green. Douglas fir opens with citrus notes that pop and then fade softly into a fruity spice, like a Christmas wreath.It is not a true fir. Its botanical name, Pseudotsuga menziesii, means false hemlock, yet it smells like an authentic fir, in the company of Siberian or balsam fir. Beside the alpha- and beta-pinene found in most conifers, it is very high in limonene, which may give it that zesty citrus.The tree tops are sustainably sourced from regenerative forestry in New Zealand. The distillers' biomass boilers produce so much energy that they supply renewable energy to other local businesses. One aromatherapy mentor counts it an oil to support personal transformation.DetailsBotanical name: Pseudotsuga menziesiiOrigin: New Zealand, organically produced tree topsMethod: steam-distilledBlends with: cedarwood, frankincense, juniper berry, clementine and sandalwoodShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useSome find it mentally stimulating, so diffuse it by day, perhaps while you clean before the holidays, and choose something softer for the evening.
