Pine Oil is a water-white to pale amber colored, somewhat viscous liquid.
The oil is almost terpeneless and it is accordingly soluble in alcohol without turbidity.
It has a sweet, pine-woody, somewhat balsamic-anisic odor with an increasing sweetness in its dryout, followed by a somewhat resinous-bitter undertone according to the type and grade of oil.
Pine Oil blends well with rosemary, cedarwood, cedarleaf, ocotea, citronella, bois de rose, ho leaf oil, camphene, isobornyl acetate, coumarin, oakmoss products, cyclohexane-derivatives, etc.
True Pine Oil is obtained by steam distillation of heartwood and stumpwood of Pinus Palustris and other Pinus species. The crude oil is then submitted to fractional distillation under vacuum or steam distillation at atmospheric pressure to yield Pine Oil.
