Pinion Wood Fragrance

Packaging: 

Co-op and surplus fragrance is packaged in either 8 oz or 1 lb increments. I use PET Bullet Bottles to make the most of shipping, but have added a GLASS option for those who prefer it. Usually USPS is the most economical. If ordering bulk, I will seek out the best rate for your order and adjust the refund accordingly.

Pinion Wood is a diferent take on basic woods. It is a sweeter heartwood aroma that stands apart from all of the other woods in my collection. It is a perfect fragrance for the holidays alone and in blends. I can imagine this in a Victorian Christmas blend.  It's a strong performer in soap and candles.

Product Thoughts:

I can imagine this in everything from bath and body (bar and liquid soap, shampoo/conditioner, lotion, body spray, dusting powder) to home (kitchen soap, air freshener, dish soap, laundry soap, etc). Will smell cheery in car freshies too.
