A little earth elf
The tiny wanderer's paths had been long, there was so much to see each day, and Munro liked to sit down and discover nothing for a moment. As soon as his eyes were closed, there was the smell of different earths, of musty sharp forest soils, of revitalized dead wood, hazy loams and cool minerals. Munro had to take a look then.
And before him flew a little elf, her body was of damp earth, she wore a dress of clammy leaves, tart lichen, and ethereal glow. Her wings were of the finest fern with fresh wet mosses on them, from which grew tiny herbs as cool as the rain. Munro marveled with shining eyes, murmuring his mouth was wide open as the elf blew him a kiss with a giggle that smelled of sweet resin and hit his cheek before disappearing with the wind. He held his cheek crooked for a few more hours to keep the kiss from running down his face, and he was pleased as a child.
**
Alkemia, based in Amherst, Massachusetts, despite their high output of creations, always have amazing scents far from the mainstream in their lineup. The house makes both oils and EdPs in atomizers to choose from.
"Gaea" stands in Greek mythology, among other things, for the personified earth. So also the fragrance begins with an almost sharp, authentic wet earth smell, a forest floor littered with stones, which has received a lot of rain and little sun, where woods rot, leaves rot and lichen ethereal tart begin to overgrow everything. Soon fresh cool herbaceous ferns and green moist mosses grow in it, before the warm and sweet maple resins become increasingly noticeable, which, however, subordinate themselves to the earthy tart, sometimes almost bitter and at the same time mineral overall impression until the end. Munro's encounter with the little earth elf is of a quieter nature and lasts about five hours.
