Of Northern Forests and Misty Images

In the northern distance, at the furthest edge, coniferous forests flow into the auroras on the horizon, as if they are falling into the night sky, silently transforming into ice crystals of eucalyptus and mist. Roots draw from the boggy earth fossil oils and terpenes, which stream black into the needle tips, from where they moisten the sphere of night, forming a greenish glowing vault, in which the bark ferments into berries, fertilizing the ground like blue gasoline. Or does mint glow in the damp clay, in the sky where the northern lights shimmer? They flicker in slightly different ways. Come, let us guess the misty images inside.
***
"Taiga Fog" is the scent of boreal conifers. The icy blue cool pine provides ethereal notes, which are carried by clayey-earthy aromas that sometimes remind me of Cambodian oud. Slightly berry-fruity notes are as perceptible as roots and oil-like terpenes, like those known from Haitian vetiver. Other conifers shimmer best at a distance, somewhat more balsamic, increasingly cedar-like. The extract recalls in its viscosity, longevity, and projection the thick consistency of attars.
Abby Hinsman produces her plant-based fragrances by hand. She either grows the materials herself or harvests them in her two-and-a-half-acre forest in Vermont. Accordingly, both her fragrances and her delivery times vary, as she only produces very small batches.

Coniferous forests smell especially lovely in summer, and today we actually had a bit of fog. Guessing foggy images is a nice thought. Usually, we only find suitable clouds, but that’s fun too. :) Beautiful, melodic imagery again!

Highly impressive, the scent is like your language. As for the pragmatics, I see it like Cravache. If a fragrance is too oily or resinous, I find the application difficult.

That sounds great. I also think of an autumn forest. The only thing I would struggle with is the consistency. I find the dosing quite tricky.

That sounds like a very cool, if not icy, natural scent that fits well with the distant, vast Taiga. But would it suit me? I'm not so sure with all that cold and wilderness. Because this kind of nature, despite its beauty, always has something life-threatening and dangerous for people living in civilization. I’m reminded of the movie "Into the Wild," which left a strong impression on me.

Your dreamy words create an amazing image of pure and untouched nature again! A certainly intriguing label with an obviously exceptional concept...

It was really nice with you in the northern distance, and you were right, you don't really need a thick jacket. I'll gladly leave you a twisted poet's trophy!

... I feel like I'm right in a green-glimmering, starry Finnish night under the Northern Lights - I'm enchanted - and I almost believe I can absorb the scent through your wonderful description - from the realm of the night... ;)) ... guessing foggy images... how beautiful...

I love mist notes. Dense, watery fog, or spray. 1000 times better than powder. :)

You’re painting wonderful pictures again. Clearly, a scent to drift into other spheres - sounds very contemplative and beautiful (even though I might be unsure about overly eucalyptus scents). But the background is also intriguing. Although, I associate Vermont with Indian Summer and maple syrup…

Misty notes - that sounds interesting. I'm always on board with coniferous wood anyway.

"Northern forests flowing into the Northern Lights" - what a beautiful image! I would love to see that... But I’ll keep my hands off this brand. I usually don’t get upset about prices, but here my pain threshold is definitely being exceeded.
