The California coast is a dramatic, 840-mile ribbon of diverse Pacific shoreline. It transitions from rugged, redwood-forested cliffs in the north, to the fertile agricultural valleys of the central coast, and finally to the sun-kissed, surf-friendly beaches and bustling metropolises of the south. This sampler covers the whole coast and features both water and coastal notes.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler.
- Alkemia Big Sur Perfume - The scent of a Pacific coast road trip with notes of fresh ozone, sea salt, jasmine tea, lime leaves, magnolia, green amber, saltspray rose, sweetgale, bay and paperbark.
- Fulton & Roark Ghost Trees Extrait de Parfum - For many, the word “beach” elicits a serene location where stress is gently lapped away by gentle waves. But experiencing the legendary California surf spot Ghost Trees calls to mind something altogether different. The first thing you’re likely to notice about this place are the gnarled cypress trees standing watch over the misty coastline. Their gray skeletal silhouettes are weathered from an endless assault of sea spray and stiff winds. These otherworldly trees, some living and some dead, stand scattered amongst the rocks and boulders that line the shore. The jagged stones are just a small portion of the raw and rugged terrain that continues on into the depths of the sea. Below the surface of the water, a shallow reef quickly gives way to a deep submarine canyon, and the interplay between these formations is what gives rise to the legendary waves that break near the shore. When conditions are just right, the water moves with unfathomable force and speed. Swells that have traveled from thousands of miles transform into massive mountains of water towering 60 feet or more before violently colliding with the rocks at the shore. The impact sends plumes of water high into the air, and each crashing wave creates as much a physical sensation as it does a sound – a deep, thunderous boom that resonates in your chest. For a time, the most skillful and daring surfers from around the world would travel to the area in hopes of riding the giant waves, and legends were born from their successes and failures alike. Local authorities closed the area to surfers several years ago, and these days it's quite rare to see a board in the water. Yet the massive waves continue just as they had before – completely indifferent to humanity. This haunting landmark encapsulates the terrifying power and extraordinary beauty of the ocean. A woody floral musk with top notes of juniper, pink peppercorn and ocean ozonics; middle notes of white cypress, Thalassagaia florals and salted sea; and base notes of ghost wood, elemi and driftwood.
- Henry Rose Windows Down P.C.H. EDP - Lost in the crash of waves and redwoods’ mist of the northern California coastline. Bright citrus and soft Earl Grey tea encounter the smoky depth of cypriol for a fresh yet woody scent. It is a limited edition fragrance that features top notes of tangerine heart, lemon, grapefruit, and elemi oil; middle notes of Earl Grey tea accord, orange flower and jasmine; and base notes of gaiacwood, cypriol and musk.
- Juniper Ridge Big Sur Field Lab EDP (2020) – Big Sur Field Lab was launched in 2021 and was a limited edition fragrance that was a throwback to their popular Big Sur scent inspired by that wild and romantic region. The fragrance features notes of seaweed, cypress, sage and pine needles.
