Emerson's musings are peppered with the Massachusetts woods, and Thoreau conducted his great experiment right in them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNew England is characterized by a combination of the picturesque and the sublime. Like the lands of New England's founding fathers (English, Irish, Scottish), the mountains are not gigantic, but they are majestic. There are no Himalayas, no Rockies, no great lakes, no deep trenches. Yet entire folk tales populate the land's cracks and crevices. Caves are gateways to the lairs of wizards. Valleys are guarded by protective gods. The scale may be cozy, but the land beyond is infinite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEmerson has everything he needs in the land that surrounds him. Magic isn't something that takes place in a distant realm. The seemingly mundane space between the trees offers ample possibilities if you look around. This magic permeates everything he writes. The artist jumps into the flow of creation. He or she imitates the Creator and freely follows inspiration. All around us are fleeting impressions. Small patches of land—farmyards, thickets, gardens, rooftops—where we are reminded of the larger world beyond the everyday. We don't have to travel to the wilderness to feel the endless space in our minds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe magic of the Massachusetts forest in the Valley of the Pioneers also gave America something tangible—wood for musical instruments, among other things. Until the early 19th century, our young nation naturally relied on imports for many items, including instruments. Even the music we made was influenced by Europe. All of that began to change in the violin workshops of the Pioneer Valley. Our first American instruments were crafted there. Were they the tools we needed to create our own lexicon of music? Of course, they were only a part of it. But I like to think that the distilled magic of our maple, oak, pine, and rosin instruments opened the minds of American musicians. Over the next few hundred years, Americans made world-class music. Perhaps our greatest gift: jazz, blues, country, folk, rock 'n' roll, hip hop, and some of the most progressive classical music of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBowmakers is meant to evoke the sensation of opening a violin case. There's the warm shellac of rosin and the opulence of mahogany and burl maple. It's a woody scent. The cold breeze of birch in the whistling winter wind hovers over the heart. The forest floor, slightly damp and blackened, dampens the bass (ha!) of the scent. Some will find it masculine. It's lush and bold, but could be worn by anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e - DS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/31nIFhW0wTTjLRHs3cjwKW\" title=\"Playlist Bowmakers\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThe fragrance playlist is available here!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D.S. \u0026 DURGA","offers":[{"title":"50 mL","offer_id":47295069487448,"sku":"DS-BOWM-50","price":169.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/6544\/3928\/files\/ds-durga-bowmakers.jpg?v=1696492377"},{"product_id":"ds-durga-italian-citrus","title":"Italian Citrus","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e An invigorating cologne made from citrus peels from the Italian coast - chinotto, blood orange, cold-pressed lemon, and green mandarin with ambrette seeds and clean musk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere are many variations of cologne.

For one thing, the citrus palette is broad. We use five different citrus fruits from Italy's coastal region in specific ratios to create a fresh opening. There's the most Italian of all fruits—bergamot, brightened by the even fresher, yellow Amalfi lemon; the exquisite oceanic red mandarin distillate (with its peculiar shell note); the sweet red blood orange; and the peel of the bitter chinotto orange. This is the accord I want to carry through to the drydown. Instead of the herbs of classic colognes, we use violet ionone to bring the sweetness all the way through. In the base, the liquid crystal scent of copaiba balsam, a white resin from South America, blends with frankincense absolute and oakmoss, creating a citrus aftertaste. Copaiba for the fresh, peppery bergamot, frankincense for the orange and lemon notes, and oakmoss for the green notes. Overall, Italian Citrus is lush and persistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Italian coast is special not only for its citrus fruits.
