Travel agency mistake:
instead of Africa in the balsam fir forest
green-sweet-spicy dreams of blossoms
distant resinous wood fires
small animals at my feet

That's interesting too! The animalic note could be stronger for me, but as it is, it's more universally appealing.

In Africa, it's too warm for me anyway, so I'm happy about the booking mistake and I'm strolling through the fragrant forest.

Yes, maybe the travel agency didn't make a mistake and I'm just disoriented. Are there balsam firs there?

Yes, it's nice and well-made. The little creatures could be a bit less shy, though, and it鈥檚 not really Africa. But beautiful.

But it's nice here too! At first, it鈥檚 like balsam fir in a Nordic forest, then it gets more complex, slightly floral, woody, and gradually more smoky. The animalic notes (hyraceum and castoreum) are just very subtle for me.
Thanks to @Cfr for the sample!

ElAttarineElAttarine 2 years ago
I think so too! Especially when the wood smoke and incense come through afterwards. Nice progression.
