Цікавий факт
Juniper berries take 2-3 years to ripen on the bush, turning from green to blue-black. In medieval Europe, juniper branches were burned in sickrooms as a fumigant against plague — a practice with some basis, as alpha-pinene has documented antimicrobial activity.

Steam distillation of crushed dried berries. Yield approximately 0.5-2% depending on origin and ripeness. CO2 extraction also available, producing a fuller, more rounded profile with better retention of terpinen-4-ol.

У парфумерії
Top-note material in colognes, fougères, and aromatic compositions. Alpha-pinene content provides lift and diffusion. Functions as a bridge between citrus freshness and woody-herbal hearts. Key in chypre-aromatic structures. Works with bergamot, lavender, clary sage, and dry woods. The berry oil is preferred over the wood oil for its greater complexity and less aggressive turpentine character.
