Forest Fairy's Fragrance

Forest is a real refuge during hot summer days, forest is always beautiful and in summer, if we forget about mosquitoes, it allures with its freshness and its fruits. I grew up in a city; I have no-one but some friends on the countryside. This might be the reason why I always have nice time in wild nature. For me forest is a living creature, as well as the sea.

Tiny forest flowers, which grew in their fight for survival, thrill us with their beauty and are a part of a completely different world. It makes us think about the strength of impact of beauty and its fragility; it is easy to pick it and stop its difficult way towards its goal. To smell it, you have to lean down or even kneel down, and together with the flower, you smell land, grass, leaves, old pine needles. You inevitably notice some tiny inhabitants of the lower levels of life on the planet, you hear birds or crickets. Is it possible to repeat the scent of forest flower, scent of life it carries, which is unique, simple and is at the same time a part of a complicated orchestra of the forest?

Once you smelled such a miracle like garden rose or wild violet, you must have wished to have it in a bottle, just for you. But fragrances in a bottle mostly lack something and have something that bothers you, but you mostly miss the feeling of mingling with the nature. So if you ever have an opportunity to buy the perfume Wild Pansy by CB I Hate Perfume , prepare your senses. Cristopher Brocius is a master in reviving nature in a fragrance (I don’t want to say imitation).

When you wear Wild Pansy , you feel like you are kneeling down in a forest, with your nose almost directly on the ground. And after that happiness of recognizing the scent and the fact that somebody (perfumer) shares your feelings with you, raises you from the ground. Cristopher Brocius managed to capture the scent of wild pansy surrounded with forest. You can recognize the whole plant in the perfume, with its flower, thin stem, leaves and even root, a living scent which can talk by tweet of forest birds.

Just like anything in our climate, the scent of wild pansy is just as intensive as necessary to fulfill its intention, attract bees, since this is not the south, where everything goes overboard. Wild Pansy is a discrete fragrance with an oil base, which stays on your skin very long, to recuperate you like a forest fairy, just like the one you allow flying with you.
