Our Process

At Rogue Evergreens, we believe that the finest fragrances in the world are discovered in nature, not formulated in a lab. This belief guides everything we do, requiring us to work patiently, thoughtfully, and by hand. From harvest to bottling, every step of our process is done in-house, in small batches, and with an unwavering commitment to quality over efficiency.

Our essential oils are extracted using traditional steam distillation, a slow and delicate method that coaxes the full aromatic profile from freshly harvested conifer boughs and wood. Unlike many commercial distillers, we never chip or dry our material before distillation. While this significantly reduces our yield and increases production costs, it allows us to capture a truer, more vibrant expression of the tree.

By distilling whole, fresh plant matter, we preserve even the lightest, most volatile components of the aroma—those fleeting top notes that are typically lost in the heat and trauma of industrial processing. The result is a more complete, authentic snapshot of the forest: wild, nuanced, and alive.

We view distillation not just as a means of extraction, but as a kind of aromatic storytelling—a way to honor the trees and landscapes that shape each oil. This hands-on approach takes time, but to us, it's worth every minute.
