HEMLOCK SHADE | Parfum Crème - black spruce and hemlock groves

A rich coniferous bouquet ribboned in wisps of smoke from scorched birch embers.Thick, bushy pine bunches and pearls of sticky-sweet spruce sap meld with thickets of black hemlock trees, while a towering fir drops its bristles onto the soft earth below. Sandalwood imparts its lactonic, velvet feel to a heart of jammy absolutes and candied resin notes, peppered by a bright, terpenic opening

Notes of: hemlock groves, black spruce, and fir balsam. Peeling birch bark, forest incense, and sticky sap, dripping and crackling onto an open fire. Woodsmoke drifting across cool night air. A dark forest fragrance.

If Ghost Pine is the knowing embrace of silent, old-growth sentinels piercing through the fog and carpeting the soil below, then Hemlock Shade is the hidden, verdant cradle tucked safely beneath the frosted canopy, where the sun and snow cannot reach but through sparse patches. It is an ode to the shelter extended by ancient guardians, whose humble understory boughs grow through the centuries into towering spires across northern landscapes.

The Ritual: Scoop the desired amount of your scented balm of choice and gently warm it between your fingers before applying it to pulse points (wrists, the crook of the elbow, the nape of the neck, the décolleté) or wherever else you please in gentle, circular motions, allowing the perfume to air-dry. 

Solid perfumes perform best when in contact with heat and do wonderfully on warm summer days, or when applied under the collar of a shirt when the temperature drops.
