Chronic

"In 1996, California became the first state in the US to legalize medical cannabis. But scratch the surface and there has always been a long history of cannabis cultivators and enthusiasts dedicating their lives to refining the herb. Chronic is a term for Cannabis and also alludes to 'The Chronic' - the debut album of Dr Dre. The Chronic was released in 1992, the same year as the Los Angeles riots." -Johan Bergerlin

Eye-openingly fresh, soothingly green, numbingly sticky- Chronic is everything a Cali weed scent should be. But rather than a straightforward reproduction of a bag of trees- after all, we can already get that out here- Chronic is a delightfully artistic reconstruction of the experience- from the sharply bitter citrus of the opening, to the dank green herbaceousness of clary sage, to a smokey twinge of vetiver. There's a naturalistic cannabis note in here too, but it emerges towards the end, bringing each note that preceded it together in a grand bouquet of, well, dankness. Take it from us- Chronic is the real stuff.
