The Pacific Northwest refers to the region in North American that features Washington and Oregon and is known for its stunning natural beauty, outdoor activities and relaxed lifestyle. It is a laid back, nature-centric lifestyle centered in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, characterized by outdoor adventure, environmental stewardship, coffee culture and casual fashion. It involves embracing rainy, moody weather for the benefit of lush green landscapes, balancing urban living with easy access to mountains, forests and coastlines. The region offers a deep and brooding vibe with lush alpine landscapes, quiet forests and a feeling of being immersed in nature. Because many areas have plentiful rainfall and mild summers, the PNW has some of North America’s most lush and extensive forests, which are extensively populated with Coast Douglas fir trees, the second tallest growing evergreen conifer on earth. Pacific Northwest (PNW) inspired perfumes focus on atmospheric, earthy scents, commonly featuring notes of damp soil, Douglas fir, cedar, rain-soaked moss and coastal fog. Key scents often include petrichor, pine, fern and saltwater, aiming to capture the region's dense forests and moody, wet climate.

- Arcana Wildcraft Cascadian Mermaid EDP - Cascadian Mermaid is the scent of a dank mermaid in the Pacific Northwest. It features notes of terpene concentrate accord, grapefruit, cotton candy, Moroccan blue chamomile, vanilla-laced sugar cane, warm rain, wild-harvested spruce tips and shimmery mermaid musk.
- Cirrus Parfums Fall Creek Perfume Oil - A fresh, outdoors-inspired fragrance that evokes the atmosphere of a cold, slow-moving snowmelt creek in rural Oregon. The composition highlights impressions of ice water and mossy river rocks, combined with conifer notes from grand fir tips and a jammy fir absolute, accented by a faint trail of unspecified wildflowers. The formula features in-house distilled grand fir oil, sourced from repurposed Christmas trees, and aims to capture the experience of swimming in icy waters and camping among surrounding evergreens.
- Fyrinnae Aasgard Pass Perfume Oil - Well-done marshmallow kabobs over a campfire skewered on a fir twig. A woodsy fragrance rather than sweet with vetiver and fir needle oil. Aasgard Pass is in the Alpine Lakes area of the Cascades in Washington, next to Dragontail Peak.
