Turpentine oil is almost odorless and viscous, with a faint odor of 'pine derivative' that limits its use to pine fragrances and woody notes.
Turpentine is not used in perfumery, but derivatives of rosin are used as fixatives in certain types of perfume.
Turpentine is tapped from pines by simple methods, and about one-sixth of the weight of the natural oleoresin distills with the water as turpentine oil.
