Norway spruce resin gives a clean, forest scent: burned, it releases a fresh, resinous-balsamic smoke. This loose, natural resin evokes the air of a cool, tall spruce wood.
About Norway spruce
Norway spruce (Picea abies) is a characteristic European conifer that grows 50 to 70 metres tall. Its resin is obtained by heating and is also known as Burgundy resin. As a sacred tree of the Germans it was a symbol of protection; tradition linked it with protection and a clear, uplifted mood.
How to use it
Resin is traditionally burned on glowing charcoal or on a dedicated sieve burner. Place a small piece on the heated charcoal or above the sieve, and the resin slowly melts, releasing fragrant smoke. Always use a heat-safe dish in a well-ventilated space.
