Scots pine resin gives a warm, lively forest scent: burned, it releases a resinous, refreshing smoke. This loose, natural resin evokes the mood of a sunlit pine wood.
About Scots pine
Scots pine (Pinus silvestris) grows up to 40 metres tall and can live for 300 years. Its resin has a warm, resinous-balsamic scent. In Germanic tradition it was a symbol of endurance; tradition linked it with an invigorating, opening mood and with finding calm.
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.
