Intense onion-odor, but more sweet and subdued than the odor of the essential oil.

Sweet-aromatic, reminiscent of spicy soups (a faint resemblance to celery or lovage), a sweet-woody undertone and a peculiar, animal-like, also sweet and root-like note. Although t…

Extremely strong, floral, deep-sweet, with a peculiar woody-breadcrust-like undertone and great tenacity in floral notes. In high dilution, it is strikingly reminiscent of the odor…

Peculiar dry-floral, musty-herbaceous odor, reminiscent of mandarin leaf oil, petitgrain oil, and, faintly, of orange flower absolute. Discolors significantly on ageing.

Pleasant, fresh, pine-type odor. The 'peppery' fresh note of Canada balsam seems to be missing in the Oregon balsam.
