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.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler:
- Botica Botanica Verdure Perfume Oil - Verdure is deep and green. Oakmoss, fern, rose and soil. Pacific Northwestern fern and forest floor. Verdure smells of oakmoss, rose and the spicy combination of moisture and soil.
- 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.
- Imaginary Authors Cape Heartache EDP - Created by Josh Meyer, Cape Heartache is the lone American contribution to Philip Sava’s wildly popular series of exploration novels. It is based loosely on an expedition he made to the Pacific Northwest as a teenager in 1881 and is generally regarded as the most candid of his works. Revolving around a homestead he built in a coastal grove of old growth trees, the novel documents his romance with a young woman who was a descendent of the Nehalem Indian Tribe. It’s themes of leaving the familiar and finding comfort and solace in a new place still resonate today. With notes of Douglas fir, pine resin, Western hemlock, vanilla leaf, strawberry, old growth and mountain fog.
- LizbeCo Forks Parfum - Clean notes of fresh rain, cool forest greens, and woodsy redwood and cedar.
- Paranormal Perfumes Forks Perfume Oil - Forks is a tiny Pacific Northwest town in a bottle. Rain. Forest secrets and golden eyes. Foggy mornings and misty nights. The meadow. With notes of a rainy Forks forest. Fog. Damp oakmoss. Sandalwood mixed with vanilla. Forest florals. A touch of eucalyptus.
- Snowy White Owl Eldritch Perfume Oil – A green fragrance that captures the scent of the rawness of midnight air, watching a late night bonfire beach party in the Pacific Northwest, driftwood washed ashore, light of the full moon shaded by mist, rawness of green coconut and a whiff of sweet resinous weed floating in the air. With notes of earthy eerie fog, driftwood, a distant bonfire, sweet resinous weed, green firs and green coconut.
