Refreshing, clean, and airy, the aroma of Balsam Fir essential oil conjures images of forests covered in freshly fallen snow and cozy holiday gatherings around a crackling fire.

Native to Eastern and Central Canada and the Northeastern US, balsam fir trees are conifers with dense, flat, dark green needles. These branches are incredibly fragrant and relatively soft. Balsam fir trees grow more than 80 feet high and typically live up to 100 years.

Balsam Fir is one of the most common and popular choices for Christmas trees because of its strong, refreshing scent. Balsam Fir essential oil captures that distinct, pine forest aroma in a bottle!

Coriander essential oil is sourced from the seeds of an aromatic annual herb that grows up to three feet high—the same plant we get Cilantro essential oil from. Like Lavender essential oil, Coriander oil has a high linalool content, which promotes a clear complexion when applied to the skin. It’s sweet, herbaceous aroma adds a fresh, hearty note to essential oil blends.

A coveted ingredient in luxury perfumes, magnolias are indulgent tropical flowers with several impressive benefits. Magnolia essential oil is steam-distilled from fresh petals.

Flowers are handpicked from the tree and then spread out to dry for a few hours before distillation. Magnolia flowers can be harvested twice a year: in the summer and again in the late fall or early winter.

Magnolia trees were once quite large. Traditionally, farmers harvesting the flowers had to erect scaffolding around the trees to access and pick the flowers. At some point, the trees were cultivated to be shorter so the flowers were easier to pick.

The trees are planted in giant wooden or cement containers. Once they mature, the trees are replanted in the ground. The trees continue to grow, but they grow out rather than up, which makes harvesting easier, safer, and quicker.
