Fir

Fir is one of Scandinavia's most common species and grows in almost all of Sweden, Finland and far into Russia. The firs is common to use in wood and paper production, but is also is fir strongly associated with Christmas and the Christmas tree. Perfumers use three different kinds of fir, the Swedish, the Siberian and Silver fir.

The production of essential oils is the same way for all three types by distillation of pine needles, but the smell is slightly different. Silver and the Swedish fir are the same and smells a bit sweet, light and with a rather woody tone. The Siberian is spicier, sweeter and with hints of cinnamon.
