Fir Resin, the raw material

Base note · Woody

Fir Resin.

Sticky green sap with a cool, coniferous bite.

How loudly it speaksBalanced

Our read on the material, not a measurement.

What it smells like.

Fir resin is sap: sticky, green, faintly sweet and distinctly coniferous, with a cool bite at the top. It smells like a broken branch rather than a Christmas tree ornament.

It gives a blend a fresh, forested depth and it is one of the few base notes that reads as cold. It suits woods and citrus and it fights sweet fruit.

Fir resin is collected from the balsam fir, the tree whose sap seals its own bark wounds, and the absolute smells like a forest concentrated: jam-sweet, green and cold at once. It is the note that makes a winter fragrance feel like weather rather than a candle.
