from $10.00
the bit you might not know

Smells like a golden grass field after harvest
from $7.00
the bit you might not know
Started life as a lighter reimagining of Hayloft but changed enough during development that Pineward gave it its own name instead of calling it a flanker. The name is also a nod to Tolkien; one of its notes is literally called "Westfarthing leaf," the fictional pipe-tobacco brand from...
Pineward
Smells like tropical fruit dripping onto salty skin
from $7.00
the bit you might not know
Uses an unusually engineered mint accord, combined from essential oil, SCO2 extraction, and absolute specifically so the mint note survives the entire wear time instead of fading early, which is a common problem with mint in perfumery!

from $10.00
the bit you might not know
Built from the very first accord Marissa Zappas ever created as a perfumer, reworked here with a lighter, more modern touch; evoking an afternoon on a farm, biting into an apricot near barrels of hay and wild violets breaking through fresh soil.
