## About
The needles for this oil are trimmed from trees growing at 1,200 meters in the Italian Alps, and the oil carries the beauty of those surroundings with it: open the bottle and the room grows a little higher and cooler.Mugo pine, Pinus mugo Turra, is steam-distilled from the needles and small twigs of young trees. It belongs to the low-ester conifer oils, yet it smells different from other pine needle oils because it is low in alpha- and beta-pinene: pleasantly pine, slightly sweet, with a delicate balsamic quality and a slightly resinous, woody, almost spicy finish reminiscent of cypress and juniper berries. It is deeper than Scotch Pine or our Piñon Pine, and in perfumery it is the preferred pine oil, for its sweet, balsamic, woody and slightly spicy character.DetailsBotanical name: Pinus mugo Turra, also called Dwarf PinePlant part: needles and small twigs of young trees, wildharvestedMethod: steam distillationOrigin: Italian AlpsAppearance: mobile, very pale yellowShelf life: about 2 to 3 years after openingHow to useBreathe it from a tissue at your desk, diffuse it, or let it lend a sweet, woody pine note to a perfume blend.
