Pine: Forest Freshness for the Home

Pine brings a crisp, resinous forest character into the home. Its fresh green profile suits interiors that should feel clear, grounded and naturally welcoming.

What does pine smell like?

Pine combines green needles, dry wood and soft resinous facets. It feels brighter than cedarwood and more outdoorsy than many warm woody notes.
