Understanding the material
IFF identifies Juniperus communis berries as the source for its rectified Balkan oil. The description includes coniferous and spicy aspects with a greener opening and woodier later character. Berry oil is a specific product category; other juniper materials and botanical species should not be treated as identical merely because they share a common name.
