Description
Scent Trunk Gurjun Balsam Eau de Parfum is an earthy, woody and balsamic fragrance that distils the mysterious aromas of a forest twilight into an enthralling niche perfume. Here unsurprisingly the sweet and camphor tones of gurjun balsam take centre stage. Native to parts of Asia, the gurjan tree produces a precious resin with a dry, pinelike aroma that has long been harvested for its ability to centre and energize. The ability of gurjan balsam to be both a dynamic force and a calming spirit makes it a significant scent for the charged atmosphere of ancient twilight rituals.
In Scent Trunk Gurjun Balsam, the stimulating woodiness of cedar adds extra uplift for the spirit, while earthy patchouli grounds the scent – instilling a sense of harmony and connection with the forces of nature. In the heart, botanical herbs such as carrot seed and a heady waft of black frankincense awaken the nose. A magical concoction of florals and spices including magnolia and vanilla twinkle with the aethers – chanting the otherworld into our own through our sense of smell. In the base, a warm, mysterious amber musk opens the portal for conjuring spells – a magic potion of a perfume.
“Betwixt and between, this is where the magic dwells. Those ethereal moments when light surrenders to night, and creatures great and small emerge to exploit the turning of the day. As you make your way through the forest and into the meadowed clearing, you carry the greenness of the trees along with you. You take your place, facing west. Clouds of spiced Gurjun balsam whirl about you. Betwixt and between the forest and the meadow, the sacred twilight ritual commences.”
