In the Cruickshank Botanic Garden, Aberdeen, Scotland, is the graceful tree Juniperus recurva (Himalayan juniper, drooping juniper). This has distinct drooping branches with waterfall of foliage. Beneath this coniferous tree the earthstar fungi, Geastrum species, were appearing.

Heres the website for the bottle.

Juniperus by Pineward

($6 1ml sample size, $20 4ml, $80 32ml, 130$ 52ml, and $220 100ml.)

This time for all my Roathe lovers out there.

Despite Uriel being described as smelling like brimstone (ew), I decided to base a perfume off of Roathe. A friend and I thought for a while on what this man might smell like, or at least how to capture his essence. We decided on juniper berry, some kind of woodsmoke, and something zesty/floral. He reminds me of wine and something sweet and floral, but masculine. I found this perfume and sent it to her. I didn’t try it personally, but she described it like this:

“It smells like very sweet pine resin, and crushed juniper, and then when you're like "oh this is too sweet" the sharp spicy note from the sandalwood hits.”
