Sweet grass turns to hay
and wood to resin
iris root lies down, unpowdered
to soft mosses & lichens
Everything hums
in earthy, rich brown minor

Iris, or iris root, completely detached from its powdery universe, caught in brown grasses (vetiver) whose roots cling to damp earth. Sandalwood gently creams the edges of the rather ethereal, sun-bleached oak, while beeswax smooths out a few edges where mosses now settle. A scent that, as a whole, feels like a deep, prolonged hum in rich brown. A grounded fragrance with a hint of melancholy but without any weariness of life. With the warmest bow to @SirLancelot ;)
