DISCOVERY
Among the ancient willows of Plitvice Lakes, this living jewel reveals itself through scent before sight.

Named for its distinctive rose-musk fragrance, it proves that nature's luxury extends beyond the visual - a reminder that true beauty engages all our senses. All precious gems carry hidden dimensions of elegance.

Its presence indicates healthy willow forests, transforming these trees into both home and artwork - a testament to nature's efficiency in combining beauty with purpose.
