Organic Black Spruce Essential Oil

Are you looking for a tonic and invigorating coniferous essential oil, with the woody-fresh fragrance characteristic of the Canadian boreal forests, rich in bornyl acetate and alpha-pinene, for diffusion and back massage cosmetic preparations? The Organic Black Spruce EO from Herbes et Traditions (Picea mariana) is distilled from the needles and twigs of the Canadian black spruce. Its biochemical profile—bornyl acetate (30-45%), camphene, and alpha-pinene—gives it a fresh, woody, and very slightly balsamic scent that is highly appreciated in diffusion. 10ml. Ecocert organic certified.

Aromatic and cosmetic profile

  • Rich in bornyl acetate (30-45%): the dominant terpene ester, the aromatic signature of black spruce, responsible for its distinctive fresh, balsamic coniferous note.
  • Woody-fresh fragrance of the boreal forests: invigorating, clean, and coniferous. One of the most popular scent profiles for morning diffusion or after exercise.
  • Preferred EO for back massages: widely used in back and lumbar massage preparations, diluted in a carrier oil.
  • 10ml: Ecocert Organic. Herbes et Traditions.

FAQ

What is the difference between black spruce and Scots pine?
Black spruce (Picea mariana) is richer in bornyl acetate, giving it a more balsamic-coniferous note. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) is richer in alpha-pinene, making it fresher and more resinous. Both are excellent for diffusion and complement each other perfectly.

Does black spruce come from Canada?
Yes, black spruce (Picea mariana) is an iconic conifer of the Canadian boreal forests (Quebec, Ontario). The majority of global black spruce EO production is Canadian.

Can black spruce and ravintsara be combined?
Yes, it is a very popular synergy in autumn and winter for diffusion: black spruce provides the woody-coniferous note, while ravintsara adds cineole freshness. A fresh and invigorating accord.
