What kind of Christmas tree smells like oranges?
Likewise, people ask, which type of Christmas tree is most fragrant?
Balsam Fir
In this regard, what is the scent of a Christmas tree called?
Bornyl acetate (C12H20O2) is sometimes called "heart of pine" because it produces a rich odor, described as balsamic or camphorous. The compound is an ester found in pine and fir trees. Balsam firs and silver pines are two types of fragrant species rich in bornyl acetate that are often used for Christmas trees.
I have never met a person that did not enjoy the smell of a pine, spruce, or fir tree. Be it the Christmas tree in your home or a grove of conifer trees in the forest, they smell sharp, sweet, and refreshing. Pinene, which has a piney odor, is a monoterpene. Limonene, which has citrusy odor, is also a monoterpene.
