A gate in the devil's tree
If it had been the presence of bitter cold, I had left the old hut for it and, on the advice of her blind eyes, had gone deeper and deeper into the Appalachian woods to the devil's tree. It was older and bigger than all the others and something there seemed to breathe frost. A place shrouded in ethereal mists, in the bitter frost of cool pine needles, in freezing leaves and bitter herbs in the green lights on the horizon. I shall be there three times before the day comes.
On the second night there were whispering voices, black tears oozing from red barks, as if their eyes were burning lavender and the sapwood of still damp cedars.
On the third night, I smelled a creature of roots, leather and birch tar, wafting in herb-green mists of incense, following me through the loam of the woods. The tree was now an open portal.

Teone Reinthal uses only plant-based ingredients for her fragrances, which are therefore subject to seasonal and local variations, and harvest conditions, degree of freshness and the type of distillation can also lead to different results, making each batch unique.
"Treewitch Appalachia" appears to be a further development of the "Treewitch" released years earlier. The base of loamy, leathery oud, subtly alcoholic patchouli, citrusy incense and smoky, humid, earthy Sumatran vetiver was preceded by a head of bitter-green, ethereal conifer resins and leafy, spicy galbanum and a heart of tart, smoky, lavender-herbaceous black copal, cedarwood and birch tar. Not least because of the name, this reminded me of the mood of the old American story of "Appalachia E.J., The Witch & The Devil's Tree", which I based my associative journey on this time and which projects clearly and full-length.
