This is an awesome scent! Probably best used in lotions or shampoos. It leans towards a male scent, but is elusive enough to be used in lotions or shampoos or soaps for women. It does not stick particularly well in soap--I had to round it out a bit with other scents to get it stickier--or, preferably use more than standard in cold or hot process soap (there is nothing that smells as good as just the spruce. I tried mixing it with cypress, bergomot (this was a nice mix) and orange. They are all fine--but...that spruce scent is just so lovely by itself. Plan on using double normal amount of EO and/or just use this in a lotion. It's beautiful. Simply beautiful.

I ordered this oil because I tend to like tree oils and I was curious about it. I had no idea it would be so powerful and smell so good. I use one drop in my bath water and the aroma is intense. I read that Spruce helps the individual manage their physical energy by helping to listen to the body's rhythms and needs. I use many different essential oils and it seems like they all help the body to heal or regulate itself at a higher level. I'm glad I found the C-G Spruce because it's another amazing oil in my arsenal for health and well-being.

After trying many different kinds of spruce and fir oils, I have finally found my favorite in this one. It brings home the real smell of the forest with its concomitant effect of calming and uplifting properties. A true evergreen in a bottle!

This is just what you would expect spruce oil to smell like-woody, crisp and clean. I used it in a wood blend in cp soap and had no problems at all. Smells great.

I looked for the "right" evergreen scent for quite a while and this one is perfect. Customers love it in CP soap and we've had requests for it in lotion. They say it smells like Christmas!
bonnie garrity (chehalis, WA, US) | March 28th, 2011
Smells like Christmas Wreaths I put on my door. Compared to other woodsy or piney scents, its slightly sweeter and definitely one of the stronger ones. Best for Christmas or mixes.
Jenny Jones (Starr, SC, US) | April 18th, 2010
I was surprised at how great this smelled. I needed a pine scent for my CP soap recipe, but I tried this spruce EO and it smells wonderful. I closed my eyes when I inhaled and saw myself on a Christmas carriage ride searching for the yule log! It was a big success in the soap and I will definitely continue purchasing in the future!
