About pine
Pine note in perfumery is renowned for its refreshing and invigorating scent, evoking the crisp, clean air of a dense pine forest. It originates from various species of pine trees, known for their needle-like leaves and woody cones. This note is characterized by its strong, resinous, and somewhat balsamic aroma, making it a favorite for adding depth and a touch of nature to fragrances. It's used both for its aromatic qualities and its ability to blend well with other notes to create complex, woodland-inspired scents.
