Helen — Gissah Helen Impression

Bergamot and lavender open it clean and herbal, like a barbershop with the windows open. Geranium gives the heart a green, slightly rosy spice, and sandalwood, patchouli, and leather take it down into a warm, earthy base with a little ruggedness to it.

Helen was a dying lumber town on the Chattahoochee River in White County until 1969, when local businessmen remade it as a Bavarian-style alpine village from sketches by artist John Kollock. Gissah released Helen as a fragrance mist in 2022.
