Fir Resin

4 perfumes

Derived from the Abies balsamea tree, fir resin is harvested through steam distillation, yielding a complex, balsamic essence. It offers a crisp, coniferous profile—sharp, piney, and subtly sweet with honeyed undertones. Primarily a base note, it provides structural depth and a forest-like longevity to fragrances. In the Gulf, it is increasingly paired with smoky oud or spicy saffron, bridging the gap between traditional Middle Eastern intensity and the refreshing, cool air of high-altitude landscapes, adding a sophisticated, resinous elegance.
