Virgin Jungle candle by Iconesse
Inspired by Virgin Forest Landscape by Henri Rousseau
As the sky calms after the storm, raindrops roll off the leaves, releasing a symphony of scents. The aroma of pink berries mingles with the crisp touch of sea spray. In the heart, delicate wild rose intertwines with a fresh rain accord. Driftwood adds a whisper of the ocean, grounding the fragrance in nature’s embrace. The base notes of earthy patchouli, rich moss, and soft musk provide a comforting warmth, reminiscent of the wet earth filling the air with its scent.

VIRGIN FOREST LANDSCAPE
1910, oil on canvas
Kunstmuseum Basel, Switzerland
Rousseau’s characteristic style, known as naive or primitive art, is clearly visible in the painting. It is characterized by a lack of perspective and proportions and an emphasis on bold and bright colors. Rousseau’s paintings often depicted exotic landscapes that he had never seen in person but had imagined.
