The Hermit's Leaf Hut
Autumn light shines deep in the dew, breaking in the cool breath of the trees, sinking mistily to the ground in greenish gray, closer to frost than to summer days. Moist night falls from the dead leaves, the fallen hazy roofs, trickles over moss-covered walls, becomes soap as it touches small hands and then floats in bubbling brown bubbles over soft forest floors. The Nag Champa incense sticks have become damp. They can no longer be lit. They have swollen in the mosses and are beginning to disappear within them. A few small beads have been collected from the bark of the balsam firs, they shimmer like watery syrup lanterns, offering a bit of warmth.
**
Amanda from Menlo Park in California produces her fragrance oils for Andromeda's Curse 100% vegan from high-quality essential oils.
"The Hermit" vaguely reminds me of "Foxcroft (Perfume) | Solstice Scents," but is somewhat more oakmossy and thus soapier from the start. As in Foxcroft, autumn leaves and damp forest floor (designated as "dirt" on their Etsy page) are the protagonists alongside the mosses. A hint of Indian character is given by the Nag Champa incense sticks, which hide in the damp mosses and are later replaced by the balsamic notes of the namesake fir. Its resins contain cis-abienol, which closely resembles the amber from sperm whales. They provide a slightly sweet warmth in all the autumnal plant saps, lichens, and earths during the drydown. The Hermit's Leaf Hut has a moderate scent lasting just over seven hours.

Those who walk barefoot through wet forests experience the rituals of the trees: dead leaves, fir air, muffled Nag Champa smoke, earthy-sweet-spicy.

Captures the essence of "damp forest floor" quite well. The earth feels a bit salty in places. But towards the end, it becomes too sweet.

What does one do as a hermit?
One bathes
Contemplates the bath ingredients
Pine needles
Soap moss
And fruits
Apples definitely have to be included.
