Balsam equals Pine, right? I expected this essential oil to have a very pine-esque scent. But not so! It's got a beautiful vanilla-like aroma instead. It's considered a 'base' note so is the type of scent that sticks around and lingers. Not fleeting like the quickly evaporating high notes. Warm, woody and sweetly vanilla. A new take on visions of Christmas Fir.
