Deep Forest · deep forest
As if deep in an old forest. Damp earth and moss help steady wandering thoughts and bring a deep quiet and a sense of belonging.
Scent Fixative · hold the hour
A soul note a perfume can hardly do without. Its clear fixative gift lets a beautiful scent stay longer in time, with a long, thoughtful trail.
Gentle Soothe · quiet repair
A preferred after-shave care for men. Blended at a low dilution, it helps ease skin discomfort after shaving and leaves a clean, toned, comfortable feel.

Grounding · earth meditation
Take a little oakmoss absolute with cedar in the diffuser. It sets an old-forest mood for a deep conversation with yourself and for meditation.
