In ancient Greek poetry Pitys (‘Πίτυς’ in Greek means ‘pine’) was a nymph who was persued by Pan, god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilderness and companion of the nymphs. According to a passage in Nonnus' poem Dionysiaca (4th – 5th century A.D.) Pitrys was changed into a pine tree by the gods in order to escape Pan’s advances.

In ancient Greek religion and mythology pine trees were sacred to Dionysus the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine. In the ancient city of Corinth, the Corinthians were ordered by the Delphic Oracle to worship the pine along with Dionysus as a god.

Area of Origin Halkidiki, Greece.

Aroma: coniferous, resinous, balsamic, fresh, piney, woody, refreshing, invigorating. A beautiful piney aroma without any harsh notes (it certainly does not smell like Pinus sylvestris!).
