I found my place, in the heart of the woods
While I'm not always a fan of resins, this one didn't fail me. Clary sage and lemon in the opening: they make it peaceful, meditative even. A natural beewax, paired with black spruce. A bark in the middle of a clearing where you can sit and observe the trees curving, almost hugging you. Not menacing; it's your nest.
Misty spikenards around you. Well done and evocative.

Smells very natural. Resinous waxy woods, smoky palo santo... It's lovely, and the name fits. It just doesn't captivate me, personally.

Wood weave and fertile forest floor. For me, it's like a mix of forest and Usar from Euphorium Brooklyn.
