About the name
Hazel is Old English — the hazel tree, whose wood made shepherds' crooks and dowsing rods, and whose name colors the eyes that can't decide between brown and green.
Hazel has completed one of the great comebacks: top-30 American standing after near-extinction in the 1970s — the vintage-botanical wave's proof of concept.
Two syllables of woodsmoke. Haze makes an unexpectedly cool key. It pairs well with crisp middles (Hazel Jane, Hazel Wren). On our vibe map it is Nature-Inspired heartwood in Vintage Elegant amber with Soft & Dreamy light.
