Why Lauren loves Heather Gemmo
I have such admiration for an extract that possesses the ability to be both subtle and deep acting like Heather and I happen to love coming across an expanse of heather while hiking.
The Heather Shrub
This low-growing evergreen perennial shrub growing up to 3’ tall, found widely in Europe and Asia Minor on acidic soils in open sunny circumstances. When heather is present it is the sign the forest is in its final decay stage. It’s roots form a dense tangle that stabilizes decomposed humus. This plant is in the same botanical family as blueberry and is so tough and has such strong regenerative powers that it can easily survive fires, putting up plentiful new shoots to provide food for grouse and livestock.
