Wandering in Kielder Forest

Deep in the heart of England's largest working forest, Kielder stretches across the Northumberland uplands like an ancient, breathing world unto itself over 250 square miles of towering conifers, still reservoirs, and mossy forest floors.

This scent captures that world faithfully. The rich earthiness of oak moss anchors the blend, evoking fallen bark and damp woodland soil after rain, while bay leaf adds a warm, slightly spiced herbal quality the kind you notice when a breeze moves through the undergrowth. A breath of eucalyptus lifts it all, cutting through the density with something cool and clean, like the cold air that hangs between the trees on a grey November morning.

Entirely composed of essential oils, it is a scent of quiet depth and unhurried wildness made for those who find peace in the forest.

Oak Moss

Deep, damp and earthy with a faintly animalic richness, it smells of ancient woodland floors, wet bark and the slow, quiet work of nature.

Bay

Warm, spiced and herbaceous with a slightly sweet resinous quality, it has the aromatic depth of a Mediterranean kitchen but with a wildness that keeps it firmly rooted in nature.

Eucalyptus

Softly floral and herbaceous with a cool, powdery sweetness, it is one of nature's most instinctively calming scents.
