Aromatic Note

Bright coniferous aroma with menthol-resinous tones. Fresh and cooling with a warm undertone — like a walk through a frosty forest at dawn.

What the scent brings to light in the subconscious

Resonates with subconscious distortions around using one’s resources, connections, and opportunities solely for personal gain, without sharing or contributing to the greater good. This creates isolation, blocks social fulfillment, and disrupts the natural flow of mutual exchange.

Emotional & Psychological Impact

Brings clarity and a sense of deep breath. Helps one gently return to personal and social structure. Awakens the understanding that self-growth is inseparable from contribution and reciprocity.

Cultural Roots & Traditional Use

Used by Indigenous peoples of North America to heal respiratory conditions and uplift the spirit. In northern traditions, coniferous trees were seen as guardians of boundaries and inner truth.

Blend Compatibility

Spruce, cedarwood, bergamot, frankincense, myrrh, rosemary. Especially effective in blends that restore structure and awaken ethical orientation.

Fragrant Message

Your roots know how to share.

but in the forest chorus of mutual support.
