One Summer Afternoon at Higgins Beach
White Birch and Balsam Fir form the core of this blend. When combined, they produce an unexpected third note that reads as Wild Rose — a result that does not appear in either oil on its own. This kind of emergent accord is uncommon and gives the scent a more complex, layered character than a simple woody-coastal profile.
Best suited for people who like woody-coastal scents with a clear floral presence that leans fresh, slightly sharp and acidic rather than soft or creamy. If you enjoy florals that feel bright and cut through a woody base instead of rounding it, this profile should work well for you.
Along with A Breath Off an East Coast Trail, this is one of the two best entry points into our collection.

Life slows by the shore.
This stretch of coast has always held a special place in our hearts — our favorite in Maine. At Higgins Beach the old gray cedar homes open wide to the dunes while surfers move with the rolling waves, their surfboards tracing graceful lines against the blue. In the hazy golden afternoon light, a sweet resinous warmth meets clean, sun-bleached driftwood. And if you pay enough attention, something tender awakens between them — a wild rose blooming so softly it could be missed, as if the place had decided it never wanted you to leave.
