Very helpful Review 18

Come, let's build a hut!

Past the poplars and tall pines, deeper into the forest until the dense fir grove begins back there. A long log forms the ridge. It is heavy. Together we pull it to the fir tree that has its lowest branch at the right height. It gets stuck in the fork of the branches. We gather smaller twigs about the size of you and me. Leaning them against the ridge at an angle. The roof becomes denser. With a freshly broken branch, I sweep the needles together into a soft, cozy floor. You bring fragrant green moss for the head. Snuggled together on the bed of pine needles, fir needles, and moss, we tell each other stories of King Mossbeard and pine roots.

--
Even the spicy start takes me into the woods. Alongside the poplar leaves and rosemary, the scent of pine is immediately present. The fragrant resin practically drips onto my hands. Occasionally, I perceive smoke, as if these fresh twigs are being burned. Or is it just an association? The fir balsam takes its time for an hour before it warmly envelops me together with the pine. For eight hours, it gifts me with calm, familiarity, and security.

What a shame that this scent is no longer available for purchase!
All the more my thanks to Chizza!

Signals from the Underbrush

Down there, everything is different. Do you see the surface of eucalyptus? The glaring green mirror of the pond in the dense undergrowth? It's hardly recognizable. Come, let’s jump in. The entrance is strange, fresh and strong, ethereal and pure, glide through the spray of rosemary, of woody herbs and medicine, of cool light green pine needles, and soon the mist will disperse and silence will return as if underwater.
And everything is a healing balm. A magic tincture, so cozy and lovely, warm and bitter, herbaceous and spicy, if you are a child, it is cola-colored, like propolis-rich dark honey from rosewood leaves, nutmeg, and poplars. Beneath it pulses warm fir balsam, glowing signals of bright amber, tiny beings wave with their shoots and reach for new life.
**
Gather Perfumes, based in Massachusetts, produces 100% natural fragrances. Ananda Wilson processes plant essences, extracts, and oils that come from either local wild growth or organic cultivation. All the more astonishing is the long-lasting nature of the fragrances, which is likely due to Ananda's extensive experience and the masterful processing of the scents. She produces her fragrances in small batches, which are subject to natural seasonal variations.
"Understory" thematizes the life-filled underbrush of coniferous forests, and after a brief ethereal sharp cleansing, it is thoroughly medicinally resinous, bittersweet, close to the skin, and highly balsamic. The signals from the underbrush last about six hours.

Breathe in camphor and menthol
where rosemary thrives under poplars
fir trees dream
a cool hand on a heated forehead
like amber-soft balm

MentholAmberCandy. Crunchy underbrush to suck on. Nutmeg shavings lie on the path. Subtly amber-colored. Rosewood dominates rosemary.

I get along well with this tincture or balm. Rosemary is wonderfully dominant, the forest is present,
calm to breathe in.
Very nice.

Legs up

Well, there you go. It starts off briefly like an herbal liqueur, then becomes soft, resinous, tannic, and woody-spicy. Unfortunately, it leaves stains.
