Dark Matter
Faun felt really murkwoody. Such darkness had hardly come to him before in a forest. At first there was only silence, a lightless, anechoic cabin and yet of infinite vastness, an empty space for association.
Then tart sweet steam filled the void, like Indian resins in soft myrrh and the warm smoke of Chinese tea soaking the musty mosses on the floor, Faun literally felt the earth, the damp, the smoldering pine roots, the coking in the mist of the Lapsang Souchong. Now and then ethereal coniferous resins glimmered like northern lights across the dark sky, drawing the silhouettes of balsam firs into the night, the dark matter to whose skeleton invisibly everything clings.
Faun sank into the mossy earth of the warm forest floor for quite a few hours, counting the bright green coniferous resin shards that slowly only grew fewer.

Pineward Perfumes, based in Utah, is entirely dedicated to the scents of dark virgin forests beyond any civilization. Nicholas Nilsson uses mainly highly concentrated absolues in his alcohol-based perfumes. He explicitly does not produce the fragrances in limited quantities, as he does not want to create any buying pressure or hype around his brand.
I don't think "Murkwood" can quite stand up to the comparison with "Norne" below. Murkwood is not quite as dense as Norne, overall a little quieter, yet a kinship in the connection of coniferous forest, smoke, earth and moss is definitely present.
