Borova smola

Sticky, resinous, and golden. Pinesap smells like a fresh wound on a pine trunk — warm, amber-tinted resin with a sharp terpenic bite and a slow, balsamic sweetness as it hardens.

Dobijanje i hemija
Način dobijanja
Pine oleoresin is collected by tapping living trees (scoring the bark to induce resin flow). The crude resin is then steam-distilled to separate turpentine (volatile fraction, rich in pinenes) from rosin (the non-volatile resin acids). For perfumery, both fractions may be used — turpentine for top-note brightness, rosin for base-note warmth.

U parfemima
Pinesap is a heart-to-base resinous note bridging bright conifer top notes and warm amber bases. It provides a sense of living forest — trees that are actively exuding, not dried lumber. Useful in forest, conifer, and amber compositions. The note is built from combinations of alpha-pinene, balsam fir or copaiba resin, and amber-type molecules (ambroxide, ambroxan). Natural pine resin or turpentine can be used directly in small quantities.
