I blind bought this and am so happy I did. This is truly the forest in a bottle. It is the trees, the soil, the cool damp air, the dried leaves and it is also, just in the background mind you the metal tools of the trade of the strong people who work in the forest. I can faintly smell the metal tank we boiled maple sap in to make syrup when I was a kid and lived on a farm. I tell you this Gather is my favorite perfume house ever and believe me I have a lot of perfume from several natural houses and Gathers offerings are the best.
