Usage
Use (Hekserij)
EO Birch Tar has a sweet fragrance, reminiscent of tar, but also of leather. It
is a strong and predominant fragrance, which is why making a dilution of, for
example, 10% or even 1% is wise. In small quantities, it can accentuate scents
such as vanilla and wood. It can have surprising effects on fruits, flowers and
spicy scents. In larger quantities, it can be used in leathery fragrances and in
special, more theatrical compositions. It compliments vetiver very well. It is
mainly a base note in perfumes and is stable in most products, including soap.
Physical properties
Properties (Hekserij)
EO Birch tar is a dark brown liquid at room temperature. The substance has a
long shelf life. The oil is made from the bark of birch trees, which is heated.
The emerging vapours are collected and cooled. This is the raw birch tar which
is then cleaned in such a way that it is suitable for use in perfumes and
cosmetics. Like any essential oil, it is also a mixture of various substances.
The composition has little been researched, but we know the oil largely consists
of phenolic compounds, terpenes and alcohols such as eugenol.
