Balsam Fir

Balsam fir, the classic Christmas tree of North America, stores an aromatic oleoresin in blisters on its bark, the Canada balsam once used to mount microscope slides. Its needles give a crisp, needle-fresh oil, while the absolute made from the resin is sweet, fruity and almost jam-like, which lets the note bridge woody, ambery and even gourmand accords.

How this is calculated

Each perfume counts once, even if a note appears at multiple pyramid levels. Percentages use the documented sample in each section, not the entire catalog. Associations can overlap and do not add up to 100%.

Rankings require at least 10 perfumes with relevant data; an association must occur in at least 3. Only the most frequent associations are shown.
