About this product
Some scents carry you somewhere. Black Spruce opens onto a green mountaintop in cold, clean air: the evergreen note so many needle oils reach for, here clear and crisp.
It is steam-distilled from the needles of Picea mariana, organically produced and wildcrafted in Canada. Emotionally it reads as freeing and uplifting, grounding and stimulating at once, a scent for the hour when the mind is weary and the day is not quite done. It is lovely simply diffused, to keep the forest in the room, and it makes a fine partner for Clary Sage and Lavender.
Details
- Botanical name: Picea mariana
- Origin: Canada
- Method: steam distillation of the needles
- Organically produced and wildcrafted
- Shelf life: about 2 to 3 years after opening
How to use
Diffuse a few drops to scent a room. For an end-of-day bath, blend Black Spruce with Clary Sage and a touch of Bulgarian Lavender in a little carrier oil, and let the cares and tensions of the day go with the water. For external use only; never take essential oils internally. To extend its shelf life, store it in the dark and refrigerated, and decant a half-empty bottle into a smaller one so it stays full.
Bring home a bottle of high, cold air for the evenings that need it.
