A forest before time
The question is not so much where you are as when this is. The sea has not long left this forest, it has forgotten seaweed and salt on the barks, in clammy colossal sprawling mosses, where earth rots and mushrooms rot and logs smolder of black ash, streams swell of spicy cinders, where dark clouds feed on wood smoke, tar branches and underwoods, ethereal needles fly in the mist, leathery ambers lie on the ground, which thirty-five million years ago were in this very spot before the ocean came. Here Uller, the god of winter, of hunting and fighting, of the pasture, of the field, dwells in his hall Ýdalir. There is no light yet, the smoke far too thick, but life germinates everywhere here.
**
"Ýdalir is a thoroughly archaic experience. There is first dense spicy smoke of wet wood (juniper tar) in which ethereal bright sparks of pine needles glow, before earthy, almost musty mushroomy oak moss gives the scent a furry volume. I also perceive salty-algid nuances, presumably already the fossil amber, 35 million years old according to the manufacturer. With increasing duration, the scent alternates between smoky resin, slightly salty stone pine as well as earthy-leathery nuances (amber). "Ýdalir" has a thick oily consistency, projects moderately to skin deep, and lasts about five to six hours.
Alkemia, based in Amherst, Massachusetts, consistently have amazing scents far from the mainstream in their lineup, despite their high output of creations. The house makes both oils and EdPs in atomizers to choose from.
