Norway Spruce

About Norway Spruce

Norway Spruce (Picea abies) is an evergreen coniferous tree native to Europe, and its scent is primarily derived from its needles and resin. In perfumery, it is used as a woody note that combines forest freshness with resinous sweetness.

Scent Profile

The scent of Norway Spruce evolves from a fresh, green, and sharp top note of needles to a balsamic and slightly sweet base of resin. It features woody aspects similar to cedar and pine, along with a cooling sensation reminiscent of eucalyptus or menthol.

Use in Perfumery

Norway Spruce is primarily used in men's fragrances and unisex woody-aromatic perfumes. It provides a cooling effect in the top to middle notes and adds resinous depth in the base. It blends well with other woody notes, citrus, and herbs.
