We have always cared for ourselves using everything that Nature has given us. Nothing existed, only nature. Resin has been called the blood of Nature. Just like human blood, the resin leaks out if the tree is injured. Subsequently it helps it in healing and fights infections, regenerating it, like the human skin does.
I was lost in my thoughts following the murmur of a small stream in the distance.
As I walked, I was drawn in by a strong scent, A balsamic aroma, powerful... but at the same time veiled.
A few dozen meters away from me, a pine tree, probably centuries old, one of those you have the chance to meet only a few times in your life, was camouflaged among the conifers.
It was majestic, imposing.
When I arrived at his feet, I found myself in front of a cascade of resin, much taller than me.
I’ve never seen anything like it.
It was fresh. I felt worthless.
Its strong aroma had managed to erase everything around me, so much so that I could no longer even hear the rushing of the stream.
I spent hours smelling a small stick previously dipped in that resin...
I still can’t explain it.
The Pinus Succinifera is an ancient variety of pine famous for producing such a powerful and sacred resin, which was used and revered for millions of years.
In the past, incense and myrrh resins were burned to release aromas with beneficial effects for breathing and the nervous system. The breath has always been a bridge between us and Nature.
BREATHE. BE REBORN. RESINA.
Resina is a very direct experience in its entirety. It opens with a balsamic, slightly fresh note, created by the union of the most important resinoids found in nature, contained within it. Gradually, it begins to reveal its true heart: a deep, leathery, impregnated wood. An almost earthy wood, combined with a subtle, at times delicate note, provided by the resinoid Benzoin, present in all its purity. Almost all the resinoids present in nature were used for this perfume. Paired with an absolute of Oud Boya Native to Assam, and a beeswax coming from the French plains.
