This is a fantastic e/o! I've mixed it with some pine for a great outdoor forest smell in my HP soap that reminds us all to well of the winter season too! This is as good as grabbing a handful of fir needles off the tree!

More herbaceous than sweet. I hate to say it, but it's almost terpentiney.... The last Fir I had bought (from another co) was almost sickeningly sweet - so compared to that, this is more of a "real" scent.

It is my favorite EO for Christmas season. Mix few drops of Fir needle, Spruce, Pine and Lemon or Lime in your diffuser and you just don’t know when to stop….maybe in the springtime. Also the price is very good.

Smells like fresh cut Christmas trees, soft and well rounded. Very lovely just on its own, but is awesome blended with Cedarwood Virginian.

Wonderful scent. This one makes me feel like I'm sitting in a forest. It'll be great to use for seasonal blends, especially Christmastime aromas. I'll be using in a 'Breath-Easy' blend.

I cannot be without this essential oil. I even use it in my soaps. It is supposed to be irritating for the skin but I make a high percentage shea butter soap with ucuuba butter and there is no problem for the skin then ! This oil's smell makes you feel relaxed and awakened. It is calming and makes you feel renewed. This essential oil's scent is truly "fir needle", nothing else.

I love its fresh outdoor scent, really feels like a big oil and not much is needed for full effects. Especially with a heavy chest during flu season. This one is a great quality fir and a very good price.
