This is a long shot but this place seems to find all sorts of obscure scents so I thought I'd ask.
I've learned over many decades one of my favorite scents is the smell of the floor of a balsam fir forest. It's not balsam fir scent in the same way as "christmas tree", it's more of a aromatic woody, decaying leaf smell, but very specific. If I'm in a forest and smell it, almost immediately I'll find a stand of balsam fir nearby.
For a while I thought this was something I'd never see outside of a forest setting but then my daughter got these Mr. Sketch holiday scented markers one year, and the "chimney" marker was exactly this scent. The thing is, that marker doesn't smell like a chimney or woodsmoke to me at all, it smells like decaying balsam fir. I imagine it's supposed to smell like peat or something? In any event, it made me think this might a standard fragrance component in the industry or something, if it's showing up in children's scented markers.
Are there any soaps or creams that meet this description?
