Summertown - No. 5141 | Wild Berries + Oakmoss

Fresh and sweet ripe wild berries intertwined with lavender and rose, finished with warm musk and oakmoss.

There are few things more nostalgic to me than foraging for wild berries, walking the path behind my house with my mother, and picking the ripened berries while carefully avoiding thorns.

Placing all we gathered carefully into a container, save for two or three that made a delicious snack while we picked, our foraging always deepened our connection to nature beyond what we observed, but more so, what we felt. Pie was my mother’s ultimate goal when I was younger--turning the fruits of our labour into something sweet to share with our family. I can still taste the warm crust, softening from the melted scoop of vanilla ice cream placed on top. These memories are forever tangled with nature, like the twisting berry branches themselves.
