Scots pine (Pin sylvestris) is one of the most iconic conifer essences. Compared to Siberian pine, its character is livelier, drier, and slightly more camphoraceous. It conjures images of mountain forests in winter, with energizing woody purity. Highly valued in aromacosmetics and spa, it invigorates body care, respiratory gels, and revitalizing natural blends.
