Extraction

Larch essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of branches and needles and appears as a transparent, almost colorless liquid that releases a strong resinous, woody, balsamic scent with a spicy undertone.

Affinity

Larch essential oil harmonizes well with the essential oils of: Ambrette, Orange, Bergamot, Moroccan Chamomile, Cardamom, Cedar, Cypress, Cistus, Juniper, Mandarin, Nutmeg, Frankincense, Pine, Clary Sage, Sandalwood as well as with Oakmoss absolute.

Property

In the folk pharmacopoeia of Nordic peoples, essential oils extracted from pine trees have a long tradition, especially as remedies for various respiratory problems. Larch essential oil, non-toxic and non-irritating, is an unusual yet noble conifer essence, prized in aromatherapy for its vaguely spicy notes. It possesses cough suppressant, expectorant, antiseptic, antiviral, balsamic, and deodorizing properties, which can be fully exploited using a diffuser.

Uses

A rather rare distillate, larch oil is occasionally used in perfumery as a resinous-spicy base for creating natural woodland notes, as well as a fragrance component in personal hygiene products (lotions). Its use as a flavoring for grappa is undoubtedly better known. It is rarely used in pharmacies, soap making, and/or wax making.

Botany

Also known as the European Larch, it is a tall tree that grows spontaneously in the mountainous regions of Central Europe (the Alps, Carpathians, and Sudetes). It has short, light green needles and reddish-gray bark. A very long-lived species (living over three centuries), it is distinguished by the distinction of being the only deciduous conifer in the Northern Hemisphere (it sheds its needles during the cold season). A single specimen—which can exceed fifty meters in height—produces both male and female inflorescences, respectively orange-yellow and purplish-pink (the latter, after maturation, lignify, becoming pine cones from which the winged seeds fall). The wood, not very elastic and very resinous, has long been prized for making windows and doors.
