Camp Willow sits at the base of Mt. Willow in the town of Foxcroft. This fragrance features notes that invoke a winter night huddled around the campfire. The woodsmoke in Camp Willow is sweet and warm; it is very detectable but cozy and not harsh. The evergreen top notes are bold and rich, wrapped in the cool chill of winter air (no mint, but there is a crisp element evocative of cool air). The fragrance is sweetened considerably with vanilla and a little marshmallow. The tobacco is sweet and aromatic, not dark and woody. The bourbon is light and reads more as a rich oak barrel instead of boozy. The coffee is dark and rich and melds beautifully with the other notes but it is not a coffee forward fragrance. The drydown is primarily a creamy vanillic-wood smoke with oak wood, a light aromatic pipe tobacco and faint traces of evergreen. The coffee is a top to mid note. Camp Willow features notes of campfire, fir balsam, spruce, pine needles, black coffee, vanilla pipe tobacco, marshmallow and bourbon.
Created by Angela St. John as part of a collection of fragrances based on the fictional town of Foxcroft, Maine. Camp Willow is an eau de parfum, edp.

Fragrantica: Really happy with this one, I really get the coffee, smoke and marshmallow notes mixed with the fir and pine is just so nice. It really brings me back to being a kid at summer camp gathered around the fire gazing up into the night sky. The smoke might be a little overwhelming for some but for me it is very lovely and comforting. Definitely full bottle worthy!
Fragrantica: I love it! The first notes right as it hits the skin are pine and smoke, and then it mellows out into a much gentler scent, with the prominent notes being smoke, marshmallow, and coffee, with a lighter mossy green smell. It really reminds me of a cosy little metaphysical book store, or sitting next to a mossy lake after it's been raining. I'm absolutely in love with it! Just wish it was a little stronger.
Fragrantica: Camp Willow is a cozy woody fragrance that really does feel like sitting around a campfire on a cool night. I get a lot of coffee in the beginning. I'm surprised there's not more votes for this note. The coffee does fade and then it's mostly a sweet vanilla tobacco. Wood smoke and conifers linger subtly in the background. Very nice!
Fragrantica: I like it and it reminds me of Replica's By The Fireside, but sweeter. It's got a fall/smores/bonfire/booze thing going on which I love! Fall campfires with friends in a bottle with a dash of sexiness.
Fragrantica: This is really nice. It’s a semi-sweet smokey fragrance that projects softly. But people will smell you, and they will be pleased. If you like Interlude or By the Fireplace, you will love this one. I liked my sample enough to purchase a full bottle.
Fragrantica: This is quite an experience. When people say, "you needed to have been there", this is the type of thing they're genuinely speaking about. I don't get the sweetness-- it would be the last in the order of the accords where the tobacco accord is a pronounced smokey tobacco. I wouldn't wear this often, but when I would it's an immersive trip! I get the imagery of the Robert Redford's film, "A Walk in the Woods" based on Bill Bryson's memoir of walking the Appalachian Trail with the Lord Huron's soundtrack album of "Strange Trails" that accompanied the on screen journey. Lots of sojourning trails by day on foot with much time to recollect one's life while having the nights around the fire to relax and recuperate before the morn's pushing forth again.
