A symbol of Christmas and nature, the scent of fir evokes the forest, resin, and the warmth of the holidays. Discover our selection of fir-scented perfumes and candles to recreate the atmosphere of conifers in your home.
When we think of Christmas, cozy evenings by the fire, freshly decorated fir trees in the living room, and that almost familiar scent of resin, wood, and prickly needles—we are confronted with what perfumery calls the "Fir" note. This olfactory note captures the spirit of conifers, the forest, and winter. In perfumery, a "note" describes an olfactory impression—top, middle, or base note—and the "Fir" note can appear at different levels depending on the creative intention. In fragrance creations, it instantly evokes the freshness of pine, the depth of wood, and the intimacy of a snowy afternoon. It is both invigorating and comforting.
Why the "Fir" note is perfect for Christmas
Christmas is all about atmosphere: the decorated tree, the garlands, the twinkling lights, the scent of the needles beginning to dry, the resin escaping, the fragrance of wood and nature in the home. Incorporating the note of "Fir" into a fragrance—whether for skin or home—recreates this magical atmosphere.
- An immediate sensation of fresh, plant-like air, reminiscent of the air in a coniferous forest.
- A warm, woody base that prolongs the sensory experience.
- A touch of "green" or resin, perfect for parties and cozying up.
This note works equally well for scented candles and room fragrances . Find our festive selection on Première Avenue to relive the magic of the Christmas tree at home.
