Embers
Smoke Collection
Key Notes: Guaiacwood • Birch Tar • Tobacco • Labdanum • Vanilla

The Scent:
Forest campfire warmth. Flickering sparks and sweet woodsmoke caught in your hair. A scent of nostalgia and close company. Thick with smoke, tempered by creamy woods and glowing resins. The green bite of spruce, the ghost of peppered resin, the slow exhale of a fire long burning. A fragrance that clings like laughter echoing off lake rocks at night.

On first inhale, Embers is sharp, green, and alive—spruce needles and wild pepper flaring in the air. Then, like fire settling into coals, it deepens. Waxy guaiacwood and glowing labdanum melt into tobacco’s gentle haze, while a flicker of vanilla and smoke-soaked leather lingers close to the skin. It evolves, but slowly—its truest nature only revealed after it’s breathed and worn.

To understand it, wear it on skin. Wait. Let it whisper.

The Story:
In the summers of my youth, I was sent north—upstate New York, where the trees thickened and the air smelled of moss and lake. A few families would rent an old cabin on the hill, high above the water, and leave us to be raised by a single patient nanny. It was there, each summer, that I returned to the same wild friends. A hidden world, untouched by parents or rules, just children with scraped knees and open hearts.

We lit fires by the lake—sometimes for warmth, sometimes just to see the light move across the water. We told stories, climbed rocks, wandered too far into the woods and always found our way back by scent. That mix of smoke and bark, night air and pine needles, was the smell of freedom.

Embers is built from that feeling: the deep night of the forest, the warmth of fire on skin, the sweet resin of shared memory. It’s the smell of a time when the world felt enormous, and we were just old enough to know how magic might work.
