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.

(With thanks to Inhaleexhale)

There's also this peaceful view from the bottom of a pond looking up to the water's surface.
As always, a delightful journey.

I probably need to spend more time with my sample. Somehow, I haven't quite grasped the charm of Understory yet...

Ah, if only I had a thing for natural scents...
Sounds tempting, anyway.

After the Dark Forest, now the Underwood - and the abduction into a magical other world. The leap through eucalyptus and ponds sounds good too. Better and with much more pleasant aromas than flushing down in the toilet like in Harry Potter.

... it's usually the case that after taking the brave leap, unexpectedly pleasant feelings can arise .. ;)) ... From the healing balm, it sounds wonderful! - although a forest creature like you can probably handle more of the herbs, including eucalyptus ;p

The picture you’re painting is so wonderful that I can almost sense the scent. The mist of rosemary and the honey is "to blame" for my wishlist growing.

I have a magical pond like that too, it really hits my heart :-) If the scent spreads that atmosphere, it must be beautiful.

I'm here as always, jumping in through the mirror of the pond. What will await me down there? Hopefully the promised magic potion in the underbrush of the coniferous forests! Thanks for letting me be a part of this...

To me, the scent sounds like the green bath pillows from the '80s as an addition to bath water! Bright green and ethereal sharp conifer scent! No soap needed!
