Steam Distillation of fir needles

I’m taking the second semester of organic chemistry this semester and we’ve been learning about methods of distillation. In lab, we separated two compounds (toluene and cyclohexane? I’ll have to look them up) from each other based on their vaporization points. I had heard of people being able to separate aromatic molecules in essential oil and bought this simple steam distillation apparatus from China off eBay to try it out.

I was playing around with the idea of making a cologne from pine and citrus oils solvated in vodka or ethanol and so when I was at Uinta National Park, I collected some needles and attempted a simple distillation. The set up I have is quite small and I’m learning it takes a lot of raw material to collect even a small quantity of oil but what you do collect smells amazing.
