Pine Scotch Essential Oil — 10 ml

🌿 Introduction
Pine Scotch Essential Oil, distilled from the needles and twigs of the Pinus sylvestris tree, is a crisp, fresh, and invigorating essence that captures the scent of evergreen forests. Its aroma is sharp, woody, and resinous , with a clean balsamic brightness that instantly uplifts the senses.
Used traditionally across Europe for respiratory health, purification, and energy , Scotch pine is valued in aromatherapy as a cleansing and strengthening oil . In perfumery, it adds a fresh, green top-to-heart note , often used in fougère, forest, and outdoor-inspired compositions.
