A Breath Off an East Coast Trail
This creation is built around two rare essential oils: Labrador Tea and Incense Cedar — a boreal species and a western mountain species that share almost nothing in common. Together they create the sudden shift that defines the scent: a cool forest opening that unexpectedly turns warmer and more resinous. This combination is uncommon in fragrance and gives the blend its distinctive progression.
Along with One Summer Afternoon at Higgins Beach, this is one of the two best entry points into our collection.

"And I had to be there. And the ordinary fell away like a forgotten dream."
You may be familiar with that feeling. You’re walking off the main trail on a footpath, more tightly surrounded by the breath of the forest, when suddenly the air shifts. Without warning, the scent becomes warmer, softer, almost flowery — the air itself feels warmer too. Something vaguely golden and resinous rises with the ferns in a way that feels surprising yet unexplainably familiar. It makes you pause, almost as if witnessing the scent of burgeoning life itself. It lasts only a few steps, then fades, leaving you wondering what you just passed through.
