Oh, this is different from what I'm used to smelling....this has a freshness to it that makes me think of being outside on a windy day after a rain has come and drenched everything because there's a watery aspect to it, too. I'm getting a lot of raw pecan - it kind of makes me think of when they are just starting to fall from the trees, and you can still find the ones in the green pods laying around. Cracking them in your teeth and eating them right there outside under the tree they came from. The birch isn't too wintergreen-y, and I don't get too much blueberry just yet, maybe I'll get more as the oil ages. This is very pretty and feels almost cooling, with all the water I'm getting from it. It'll be perfect for warmer weather.

This one is intriguing as promised! I get sugared blueberries, watery greens and a drydown of a mixup of fruit, floral and ground spice. To be honest, Ozark Hellbender reminded me a great deal of Bad Moon Rising the first couple of weeks with something in this blend reading as "violets" to me with a waxy floral (almost powdery) under the blueberries and herbs- I think it's the birch which I learning I tend to amplify. That all changed as Ozark Hellbender has now morphed to luscious sweet realistic blueberries and aquatic greenery and a dry "dirty" coriander under it all creating a fascinating docile watery scent overall. I was fortunate enough to actually hold a Hellbender in highschool and like those nifty creatures (they have the most adorable toes), this fragrance inspired by them is unexpected in how you think it would act. Weird is beautiful!
