What do reviewers say about Murkwood and Norne?
This is the benchmark for dark forest scents. Pineward built their name on conifer realism, and Murkwood is the proof. Bold, unapologetic, and closer to the source than anything else at the price.Murkwood
Norne doesn't smell like a candle shop. It smells like walking through a Pacific Northwest forest, the kind of place where resinous fir trees dominate and moss covers everything in sight.Norne
