Hinoki & Cedarwood Jo Malone 2024

... the forest in the cool late autumn. Fir trees have been cut down, the branches stripped of their twigs, now drying in the lukewarm midday sun. Fir and spruce resin, still liquid and viscous, release their enchanting scent together with the light citrus notes of the fir needles. Now there's a hint of incense coming from afar. Does it bring that very, very delicate sweetness? No, it has already disappeared again. Did I just imagine it? Now something else is joining in that I haven't smelled before. A fresh breeze from the north? Yes, I believe so. It is now cool and fresh. The wonderful green with the juicy wood remains for a long time. I feel alive.
