Pinus sylvestris
Family: Pinaceae (conifer)

I don't know about you but I believe pine is one of the best fragrances out there.  Every time I inhale this oil I am transported to happy times and a peaceful feeling within.  It may be that it is reminiscent of Christmas when there is peace and joy all around or the feeling of being outdoors where I always feel at peace and closer to my Father in Heaven.  Pine is not only about the fragrance it is also highly disinfectant, muscle and wound healing and soothing to the skin.
