Picea engelmannii · Hand-Distilled Hydrosol

Distilled Summer 2026

The high mountains have their own aromatic language: cool air, evergreen needles, damp earth, and the bright, clean scent of conifers growing close to the sky.

Engelmann spruce is a mountain tree of western North America, thriving in cool, high-elevation forests. Its aromatic needles carry the fresh, green, resinous character of the alpine woods, with a crispness that evokes cold mountain air and the vitality of evergreen life.

Made from freshly harvested foliage and carefully distilled in my copper alembic, this hydrosol offers a fresh, forest-green expression of Engelmann spruce. Its scent invites us to lift our gaze, take a fuller breath, and remember our place within the living landscape.

Evergreens remain green through the changing seasons, making them natural companions for reflections on endurance, renewal, and the persistence of life through difficult conditions. I love working with spruce as a botanical ally for refreshing the senses, reconnecting with the natural world, and creating a feeling of spaciousness.

This is a hydrosol for those who love the scent of mountain forests and want to bring a little of that atmosphere into their daily rituals.
