A Resin Born of the Northern Forest

From the snow-laden boughs of Eastern Canada to your sensory ritual.

- Abies balsamea grows across the boreal forests of Canada and the northeastern United States, where indigenous peoples have honored its resin for centuries.

- The absolute is solvent-extracted from needles and resin, capturing the deeper, sweeter, balsamic notes that steam distillation cannot fully reveal.

- Its thick, amber consistency and tenacious aroma make it a treasured fixative in fine natural perfumery.

SAFETY

Avoid during pregnancy and nursing unless under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
