Bonsai – The Fragrance of Zen by Christi Meshell is an olfactory homage to the tranquility and ritual of the Japanese Zen garden. Released in 2019 by House of Matriarch, this fragrance captures the essence of nature through rare natural notes such as alligator juniper, black copal, aglaia flower, chrysanthemum, and artisan-distilled evergreens. The scent journey begins with a fresh, green opening that transitions into an ancient, balsamic wood base, enriched with incense and spice. While the fragrance evokes natural elements and promotes a meditative experience, it does not directly engage with environmental data or sustainability themes.
