pine specialty

Pine specialty is a fragrance material predominantly utilized for its characteristic pine scent. It appears as a liquid with qualities reminiscent of fir needle aroma, delivering a green, resinous olfactory profile. The material is known under various synonyms including 'green pine fleuressence' and 'pine needles AA'. Due to its specific composition, it is well appreciated in fragrance formulation for imparting balsamic and woody notes. More detailed chemical information can be found via its PubChem link. Pine specialty is generally obtained through extraction processes targeting the pine needle fraction, providing a consistent aroma for use in diverse fragranced products.

In the natural environment, pine specialty is derived from pine needles, a component of pine trees widespread in various regions. It is known for its application as a fragrance ingredient used primarily in perfumery and related aromatic products. The material functions as a fir needle oil replacer, contributing herbal, balsam, and woody odor facets. It holds potential in compositions requiring dry and fresh fir notes. Usage guidelines follow IFRA (Global) standards, which recommend usage levels up to 15% in fragrance concentrates, emphasizing safe and effective application within these limits.

Pine specialty exhibits a specific gravity ranging from 0.95 to 1.02 at 25 °C, indicating a density close to that of water but varying depending on precise composition. Its refractive index lies between 1.46 and 1.52 at 20 °C, consistent with essential oil fractions rich in terpene derivatives. The material is soluble in 80% ethyl alcohol, facilitating its incorporation into alcohol-based fragrance formulations, but it remains insoluble in water. These physicochemical properties influence how pine specialty interacts within blends, affecting volatility, miscibility, and performance in various product matrices.
