Arcana Wildcraft Yggdrasil is a scent that immediately called to mind a passage I'll never forget from Robert MacFarlane's The Wild Places: "All travelers to wild places will have felt some version of this, a brief blazing perception of the world's disinterest. In small measures, it exhilarates. But in full form it annihilates."
An exhilarating, annihilating coniferous expanse. Primeval pillars connecting earth to heavens; green darkness sleeping, dreaming, without witness, beyond time; crystallized needles trapped in amber tears dripping slowly for millennia; smoke suspended in frozen-canopied cathedral stillness, heartwood rings marking winters too numerous to count; the forest's indifference, wilderness continuing its slow communion with eternity while you stand mute and temporary and already forgotten. This is a scent that also reminds me of Ivan Shishkin's wild, remote forested landscapes.
