Morning in Eucalyptus Woods
The first thing that comes to mind is an oxygen cocktail from my childhood - that strange airy foam. Eucalyptus mixed with something soapy and creamy. Then I’m somewhere in humid subtropical mountains early in the morning. It’s warm, but there’s mist in the air and everything is still wet after the rain. Greenery, wet eucalyptus, crushed eucalyptus leaves with their natural bitterness. Cool, slightly medicinal menthol against warm, creamy soap. It’s warm and cold at the same time. Later it becomes more ozonic, with the smell of wet eucalyptus wood, creamy sandalwood and that same soft, clean soapiness. There is so much air in this fragrance. It feels intimate, calm and grounding. It genuinely changes my mood and makes me want to slow down. A slow morning, a breeze through an open window, yoga, meditation. Incredibly calming and almost meditative, while the eucalyptus and menthol keep it fresh. Not for parties - introverted.
