Big Sur Revisited
Were the woods really here? The California coast at Big Sur? Kerouac could not yet get a clear thought. The sea sprayed sage like bright green spray, herbaceous and spicy, pungent and fresh, pushing the scent through every pore of the conifers' ethereal needles, then he could see clearly again.
The sun blazed against the mountain forest slopes, dammed the heat over the arid earth, made the resinous needles crackle on the forest floor, the pale limes tart-spicy caked, darker, browner, almost dry. And Ginsberg dug his face into the barks, rubbed crumbly lichen in his hands, and hummed a deep and quiet mantra to Kerouac's needle-bottom tanpura, a low murmur until nightfall, Big Sur was their refuge.

Juniper Ridge, based in Oakland, California, is fully committed to the sustainable organic production of personal care products. The 13-member team harvests most of their raw materials wild, they source woods from similarly sustainable forest management, and they make their oils using steam distillation.
"Big Sur (2017)" begins with a boisterous hint of wild sage, bright, fresh, and herbaceous, which combines with the limey ethereal aromas of cypress resins before adding more and more tangy notes like brown needles on dry forest floor, lichen, and bark of Monterey pine. Fluxit already mentioned it in his excellent review of the original version of Big Sur, sometimes just a little more forest floor and bark comes along in the still, depending on where and when they gathered the wild ingredients like that. The moderate mantra sounds for an astonishing seven hours.
