With notes of tobacco, mimosa, rosemary, hay and tonka bean, this fougerè style fragrance is a re-invigoration of a classic cologne style. Sweet Grass is an eau de parfum, edp.

Fragrantica: I've been waiting for years and years for someone to do an authentic "sweet grass" fragrance. I often burn the dry, braided, Native American sweet grass like an incense. Naturally there is a "smoke" note that happens when you burn the actual grass, but this fragrance only slightly alludes to smoke, and keeps to the lovely smell of the actual plant. Its quite photo-realistic and, like I said, I've been eager for some fragrance house to do this. Bravo Libertine!
Fragrantica: A perfect summer day, running through a field of yellowing grasses. It's late in the season and the crops are starting to smell dry but their lush quality still lingers enough to sweeten the warm air. You are so very far away from the harsh sounds and smells of a city. This is deep countryside, rolling hills, haystacks, clover crowns, chewing on a stick of wheat, simply drunk on sunshine! If this is your scent profile, it doesn't get better than this!
Fragrantica: Cary Grant buys a ranch in the wild west, stoking a campfire in a double-breasted Saville Row suit. City elegance meets rustic country. Immediate love for me.
Fragrantica: I really liked this one. I get the image of laying on a wagon in a field of hay with the sun high during the summer. It's completely a unisex scent, but something about this really reminds me of growing up in the countryside. It's mildly spicy and smokey, and feels really well blended. I don't typically gravitate to herbal or fresh spicy scents because they usually remind me of being stuck in an elevator with a man bathed in cheap fragrance, however, this one feels different. I thoroughly enjoy catching this on my skin. As it dries down, a part of it kind of reminds me of my late friend's aftershave. It's nice to have that around. Maybe not an everyday scent for me, but I'll revisit this in the summer.
Fragrantica: A delicate, dreamlike memory of a late summer field captured through 35mm expired film. Refracted sunlight glinting like crystal onto softly sweet bed of golden hay and lavender. It’s late in the afternoon and you have to go home but you would rather lay here forever, gently swayed by the tide of the breeze.
Fragrantica: I just got a sample of this and it’s better than I could’ve hoped. It really smells like sweetgrass and warm hay on an unusually warm and sunny autumn day. It’s a beautiful natural earthy smell without smelling dirty, wet, or “hippie”.
Fragrantica: I have been searching for the perfect sweet grass inspired fragrance for ages, and this is it. Hay and tobacco are the most prominent notes throughout. The tonka and ambrette mellow this out little and give it that subtle powdery sweet base that is very reminiscent of actual sweet grass. Of course, nothing will ever smell exactly like the real thing because it is such a unique aroma. This is the closest I have found without being a boring, one more fragrance. It reminds me of driving around the prairies when I lived in Kansas. I'm a huge fan. I think it's a masterpiece, honestly. Projection and longevity are good. It isn't overwhelming, but it's noticable. It lasts a really long time on clothes. I sprayed it on myself last night and my robe still smells like it this morning.
