Meditative but just okay
Has a very herbal opening with a tart fuji apple and fresh juniper berries. As it develops you get a very strong ambery accord with very prominent hinoki woods. It’s resinous, and warm, but still very fresh and green. This feels like the contrast of a vibrant monkey swinging through the trees, the fruit it just ripped from above the tree branches in one hand, the fresh leaves grazing its fur as it swings past. The dry down is a mossy and creamy sandalwood with more herbal accords. The monkey has come down from the trees now, sweetly relaxed as a warm breeze passes through the jungle. There’s still mild remnants of apple and strong hinoki even in the dry down. This one is nice, it’s a homely scent even, comforting and enjoyable.
