Colophony, also known as Pine Incense Resin, has a strong association with the element of air, embodying the essence of autumn. Its planetary correspondences lie with Mars, while its astrological ties are with Aries, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Its scent profile features a distinctive pine odour, balsamic notes, lightness, and a touch of spiciness. The fragrance of colophony is known for its clearing properties, grounding effect, and stimulating characteristics that strengthen nerves and provide energy, courage, and emotional resilience. As a symbol of protection, spirituality, and prosperity, colophony holds deep historical significance. Celtic and German ancestors revered the pine tree for its shielding properties against negative energies, while ancient cultures viewed it as a symbol of fertility and potency. In Greece, pine trees were believed to represent eternal life and immortality. Harvested from the Pinus Sylvestris tree, colophony's finest quality resin is praised for its decongestant and uplifting qualities. Traditionally used as incense, colophony clears and purifies the air, infusing spaces with a wintry, uplifting aroma. This resin blends harmoniously with amber, burgundy pitch, cedarwood, elemi, juniper, lavender, oakmoss, pine needles, rhubarb, rosemary, sage-desert, sandarac, and thyme, making it a versatile and cherished addition to spiritual practices and rituals.
