Description
Energetic Profile: Grounding, embodying, calming, protective.
Smell: The scent of Juniperus scopulorum wood essential oil is described as woody, resinous, and fresh with earthy and pine-like undertones. It captures the essence of a coniferous forest with a crisp, clean, and slightly sweet aroma [1], [2].
Perfumery Note: Middle note [2].
Main Chemical Constituents: The primary constituents of Juniperus scopulorum wood essential oil include sabinene (49.91%), α-terpinene (9.95%), and 4-terpineol (6.79%), which contribute to its characteristic woody and resinous aroma, as well as its potential therapeutic effects [2].
Adulteration and quality: This aromatic oil being exclusively offered and produced by small scale craft distillation in the USA, the relative risk of voluntary adulteration compared to globally traded oils is significantly reduced [2].
Distiller’s Notes: The essential oil of the wood of Rocky Mountain Juniper is extremely rare and hard to find.
