About this one
Balsam fir tips are gathered by hand in the Muskoka region at the point in the season when the plant is at its strongest, then dried slowly before going into organic olive oil for a six-week maceration. Wild harvesting is done sparingly — never more than a small share of any stand.
The resinous, forest-green scent is the plant itself, not an added fragrance. Reach for it after a hike, a long day on your feet, or anywhere muscles feel tight and tired.
