The aromatic compounds live inside the grain itself and don't fade the way applied scents do. If the scent softens over time (usually from dust), a gentle wipe with a warm dry cloth reactivates it. Many describe the scent as deepening, not fading, as the wood ages.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e❓ Why does it rock — is it just decorative?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✦ The rocking motion is intentional, not incidental. The base is curved by design so the figure sways with the lightest touch and returns to center on its own. Many find a brief tap before a meeting or difficult task quietly centering — a somatic reset that takes one second. The figure and base are carved from a single block, so the motion is smooth and natural, not mechanical.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e❓ Is this real wood or resin?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✦ Solid Green Cypress — not resin, not composite, not veneered. You can confirm this by the grain running continuously across the entire piece (resin casts don't have this), and by the natural wood scent, which no resin product can replicate. The weight also tells you immediately: this is a solid piece, not hollow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e❓ Can I place this on my desk next to a laptop?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✦ Yes, comfortably. Keep a small buffer (about 4–6 inches) from devices that generate significant heat.
