The aroma is a divine tenacious scent, warm, honeyed, and sweet with a slight hint of soft woodsy scent. Poplar bud absolute is extracted from the buds of the Black Poplar tree. This base note has balsamic undertones with heavy vanilla top notes and is a beautiful fixative in perfume blends. Sometimes referred to as Judaic Balsam or Jewish Balsam
The common name of poplar buds, Balm of Gilead, is a Biblical reference to Mecca Balsam which grows all over the middle eastern countries and is the source of balsamic oils mentioned in the Rambam Writings while he lived in Egypt. Balm of Gilead is also featured prominently in many Jewish, Native American, Hindu, Chinese, and Arabic traditions of medicines.
Nickname: Balsam of Gilead Tree by Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest and is used for many medicinal purposes.
Made from fresh Buds of the famous PNW-grown Poplar trees (Populus Gileadous, Populus Balsamfera) that grow in Pacific NW Oregon, and Washington, USA. This tree is also can be found in Canada, England and parts of the Middle Eastern world.
Our method of harvest is to use only what is pruned and what naturally falls to the ground. Everything is fresh and used immediately and what we do not use right away we freeze to be used at a later date. Poplar buds are best used fresh, and live for medicines either in making absolute essential oil, steam distillation essential oi, or a maceration essential oil. If not fresh from tree, then must be from bud that were picked fresh then frozen and thawed for medicine.
*Dried buds will always be rotten, black, and crumbly inside from fungal decay. Be aware that the majority of Poplar Balsam Bud Absolute and steam-distilled Essential Oils on the market are usually made from rotten dried buds. PLEASE DO NOT EVER USE DRIED BUDS FOR ANY MEDICINES.
