草や葉、木の幹、苔、土などを蒸留した水で表現する「ほんとう」の森の香り。それまで森が健康に悪影響を与えるとされていた近代のヨーロッパでは、その悪いイメージを払拭するために「森」「新緑」などという名の人工的な香りが量産され、現在でも人々の森の香りの原型となっている。
The “true” forest fragrance is expressed by water distilled from grass, leaves, tree trunks, moss, and soil. In modern Europe, where forests had previously been considered harmful to health, artificial scents with names such as “forest” and “fresh green” were mass-produced to dispel their bad image, and they remain the prototype for people’s forest scents to this day.
