forest air

Pine-scented outdoor breath

Forest air is the atmosphere within a wooded area, often characterized by freshness, earthy scents, and the smell of trees and vegetation.

The phrase evokes cleanliness and natural purity, especially in contrast to urban environments: We rolled down the windows to breathe in the forest air.

Forest air is sometimes credited with health benefits due to compounds released by trees.
