Fragrance spray with the image of a summer forest with deep greenery
A fragrance spray with a scent inspired by the summer forest of Shimokawa Town. It is an herbal blend based on Hokkaido fir essential oil, and expresses a scene in the forest where the breath of plants and trees is filled in the dark green summer.
It is thicker than aroma mist and as thick as perfume, so you can use it instead of perfume by spraying it on clothes. (It is not a perfume, so please refrain from spraying it directly on the skin.)
It is an image of a time in the forest where the real "mountain uncle" carefully cared for every day. The Hokkaido fir essential oil used in this fragrance is actually taken from the Todo pine tree in the Uncle's Forest. The scent expresses the uncle who loved the mountains and the forest.
===================
Summer forest in Shimokawa
When you reach the entrance to the forest, you can hear the buzzing sound of a lawn mower.
Eventually, he notices us, and on the other side of the stream, the "mountain uncle" who is the creator of this forest is waiting for us with his hands resting.
The murmur of the stream and the voice of insects.
As we nervously crossed the narrow log bridge over the creek near the hut, the "mountain man" greeted us quietly and greeted us with a smile.
Carefully manicured forest.
If you crouch down, you will notice that the little spruce is still sticking its face on the ground. Pine needles dotted the mossy rocks by the stream, creating a microscopic and detailed world of plants. Ants busily walk through the moss path.
If you look closely, you can see that it is also a treasure trove of medicinal herbs such as plantain and mugwort.
When I stood up and looked up at the sky, the sun was shining through the leaves of the trees and it was very dazzling.
The leaves of the Japanese pine tree grow in clusters and look happy to be bathed in the full power of the sun.
Take a breather in the hut.
Indulge in hot herbal tea and small sweets with "mountain uncles".
Insects also gather to escape from the sun.
The refreshing scent of young leaves brought by the wind at a moment's notice.
A powerful scent filled with vitality.
I wish the summer didn't end like this.
