Pine Essential oil (Pinus sylvestris)
This is an oil I added to my collection because I love woodsy scents, especially in the winter months, I'm sure it's the association with Christmas trees. I've been replacing my favorite candle scents with Essential oils in the diffuser, so I needed to make sure I had Woodsy scents during the colder months.
Pine has become one of my favorite woodsy oils and I love diffusing it with Orange Essential oil while I work. It's relaxing and uplifting at the same time so it's much appreciated when I'm staring at a computer screen. My Mr. also loves it so we diffuse it on the weekends and I'll even add it to a massage oil from when our muscles need a little tlc.
