The White Woman Blows Through the Forest
Grandmother. The pines are already so cold, I think winter is blowing through the forest. The sky is glowing cooler camphor, the White Woman gathers late herbs, breathes menthol and makes oranges disappear, sprinkles eucalyptus on the bark, sings sharply the dark solstices, I will only find brown leaves that cover the dry firs on the ground.
Look, my hands still have spicy warmth, crushed needles clothe my arms, moss creeps around the silhouettes of the trees with the soft scent of forest floor earth, a cloak of old lichens. It has become so quickly silent and dark, Grandmother, I can only see shadows now, I have lost the way to you, I will not take another step further.
**
For Strange Women from Kansas City, Missouri, produce their perfume oils based on organic jojoba and coconut oil in combination with essential oils and plant extracts. The scents and samples come in lovingly designed small boxes with illustrative and descriptive little cards. All fragrances are handcrafted, vegan, free from synthetics, alcohol, parabens, and phthalates.
"Black Forest" is the coniferous forest at the winter solstice. The menthol-cool herbs of the pine and the eucalyptus-sharp camphor of cardamom open the scene. The fir initially wears a dress of oranges and bergamot, before its brown, dry needles become more prominent, together with the sharp, earthy-warm and simultaneously peppery-bitter nutmeg and the increasingly noticeable woody-earthy lichens, creating the authentic impression of a coniferous forest floor. Unfortunately, the White Woman only blows through the winter solstice forest for a few hours and rather quietly.

What a top note; crushed pine needles, pine resins, an eucalyptus-fresh coolness swirls around the needles. Spicy, slightly bitter..

Natural, concentrated pine presented in a camphor-menthol way. Reference: Vicks VapoRub. Quite an authentic pine forest.
