Abies alba
5-12€ / 10ml
White fir (Abies alba) is the emblematic tree of European mountain forests -- Vosges, Jura, Alps, Pyrenees. It can reach 60 meters in height and live 500 years. Germanic and Celtic peoples considered it sacred, linked to the winter solstice -- it is the ancestor of the Christmas tree. Fir resin was used to make ointments for respiratory ailments.
Distinguished from balsam fir and black spruce by a gentler and more balanced profile. Its richness in alpha-pinene (up to 53%) gives it a marked respiratory decongestant effect, without the camphorous intensity of eucalyptus. More forest-like and less stimulating than Scots pine.
