Born of the Northern Forests

From Canada's boreal silence to your daily ritual.

- Picea mariana grows in the cold peatlands and rocky soils of northern Canada, where short summers shape its dense, aromatic needles.

- Indigenous peoples of the boreal regions have long valued spruce for its resin, branches, and ceremonial smoke.

- Steam distillation of the freshly harvested needles yields a pale, fluid oil with one of the deepest, most authentic forest scents in aromatherapy.
