Turpentine oil

Say itTUR-pun-tyne oil

Sharp, fresh pine resin and terpene, the paint-thinner smell, with a balsamic-woody warmth.

What it is: Natural oil from distilled from resin tapped from living pines (Pinus spp.).
Where it comes from: also a byproduct of kraft paper pulping
When you smell it: Top notes: when you spray it.
What perfumers do with it: Cheap pine effects in air fresheners and pine-needle reconstructions; mainly the feedstock for pinene-based aroma chemicals.
Worth knowing: The word first meant the resin of the terebinth tree, as in Chios turpentine, before pine oil took over the name.
Rules: Limited. IFRA and EU demand peroxide value under 10 mmol/L; EU label-named since Regulation (EU) 2023/1545
Also called: turpentine; oil of turpentine; spirit of turpentine; rectified turpentine; turps
