About

Blåkulla opens with a smoky, fresh floral burst, hinting at something wild and untamed with a touch of fragonia. This quickly deepens into a salty, resinous pine heart, evoking ancient forests and rugged coastlines. As it settles, a rich base of cade, warm amyris, animalic musk, smooth leather, and deep amberwood emerges, creating a complex, brooding, and intensely woody experience.
