Sweet Birch Essential Oil 50ml

(Betula lenta)

Sweet birch essential oil has a strong, clean aroma with crisp, wintergreen-like notes. The scent feels sharp and refreshing rather than soft or floral. Because of its intensity, it is usually used in small amounts within fragrance blends.

Aroma & Character

The aroma is fresh, cooling, and slightly sweet. As a result, it creates a clear and energising atmosphere. Many people describe the scent as bold and unmistakable, with a clean finish that cuts through heavier blends.

Origin & Extraction

This oil is steam distilled from the bark of Betula lenta, commonly known as sweet birch. It is sourced from Russia, where birch trees grow in cold climates that shape their aromatic profile. Distillers use steam distillation to preserve the oil’s distinctive scent.

How It’s Commonly Used

Many people choose sweet birch oil for fragrance blends that feel fresh and sharp. For example, it works well in diffusers when balanced with citrus or woody oils. In addition, it blends smoothly with peppermint, eucalyptus, and soft resin oils. Therefore, it suits carefully measured personal scent projects when diluted correctly.

Cultural & Traditional Context

Birch trees have long held cultural significance across northern regions. Their bark and wood were valued for practical and aromatic uses in daily life. Over time, the clean scent of birch became associated with freshness, renewal, and clarity rather than decoration alone.
