pine scent

Evergreen tree aroma

Pine scent is the distinctive smell of pine trees—sharp, resinous, and vaguely medicinal.

The fragrance comes from volatile compounds in pine needles and sap.

It appears constantly in cleaning products, air fresheners, and candles, where it signals freshness and cleanliness: The bathroom reeked of artificial pine scent.

Natural pine scent evokes forests and the outdoors.
