Real talk
This is conifer realism, not conifer suggestion. The mint opens sharp enough to wake you up, then the forest softens around it. Some people want their pine scents to smell like car air fresheners.Boreal
Not every fragrance wants to be liked. This one was made for the walk through the cold air at the edge of a forest, something ancient under the trees and no one else around. The fir opens decisive.Vlad Dracul
