Manitou

Really like this one. It reminds me of my childhood walking through the forest to get to elementary school in the mornings with the sun still low in the sky, passing under the shade of cedar trees, and smelling soil and damp leaves that have accumulated on the path as well. Along my way a man would play bagpipes as part of his morning ritual and regularly enjoy a cigar, which is coincedentally evoked by the earthy tobacco in the scent I find it very transportative and calming. As it develops, it warms up and a relaxing lavender comes into focus, with patchouli rounding off the edges of the cedar and probably giving it much of that vegetal damp effect. I find it settles into something somewhat resembling a highly natural, cozy and barbershop scent.
