The Pine Cone Staff

The thyrsus was a wand of giant fennel wrapped in ivy. It was often topped with a pine cone. Greeks carried it at festivals and religious ceremonies.

Dionysus and His Followers

The thyrsus is mainly linked to Dionysus, called Bacchus in Rome. It symbolized prosperity, fertility and pleasure. A red-figure cup from about 480 BC shows a maenad using one against a satyr. A Roman relief from 120 to 140 AD shows another maenad holding one.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this pine fragrance oil to your own base. A woody fragrance oil like this pairs well with citrus or amber. Try it as a balsam scent for soap. Browse more scents in the Fragrance Oils collection or the full Museumize fragrance collection. Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright, away from heat and direct sun. A pine tree scent feels like a walk under evergreens. Many makers value a woody fragrance oil as a quiet base. A balsam scent for soap suits a cabin-style gift set.

Pine appears in Greek ritual and art through the pine cone of Dionysus. The tree remains a symbol of woodland and endurance.
