Leather + Pine: Inspired by that unique experience and our own trips to the Minnesota North Woods, Leather + Pine is a coniferous fragrance designed to make you and your admirers feel closer to the forest line, no matter how far you stray from it. With base notes of inky leather oil and aromatic frasier fir, layered with cedarwood and saddle soap, the resulting scent is warm and clean, with a touch of tree-sap sweetness.

Santalum: Known to regularly charm passerby's with its captivating musk, Santalum is our carefully mastered take on a sandalwood-centric scent. Starting with a woodsy base of Australian Sandalwood, we layer on leather and ambrox to establish a uniquely rich and spicy depth. We then weave in subtle notes of cardamom and palo santo for an underlying herbal complexity. The result is a warm and vibrant fragrance rumored to be addictive to its users and admirers alike.

Oakmoss: We created Oakmoss to be reminiscent of the moment after a storm clears, when the sun shines through to unleash a palpably fresh, warm, and earthy scent from the forest floor. Seeing as Oakmoss is one of the most used raw materials in perfumery, we wanted to strip it down to its purest form to reveal how it might be experienced in its natural habitat. We did this by laying a base of warm woods, sandalwood and cedarwood, as well as adding a touch of lavender to accentuate Oakmoss’s brighter, botanical qualities.

Tobacco + Musk: Tobacco, spice, and everything nice. This indulgent fragrance spotlights the earthy sweetness of freshly-picked tobacco leaves, seasoned nicely with spicy notes of amber and pepper. Wrapped up in a warm base of teakwood and sandalwood and brightened by a touch of grassy vetiver, wearing this scent is to emit a sophisticated concerto of soil-grown splendor.

We've gone rogue. 

For good reason, we promise. While up until this point we've sold exclusively jewelry, clothing, and accessories, we now have sustainable bamboo utensil and straw sets.  Why?

1. Because it's time to ditch the plastic.
2. Because we couldn't find a fair trade option ourselves.
3. Because bamboo is a fast-growing, sustainable option.
4. Because our artisan partners have the capacity to make them, and we're all about creating more fair trade jobs for women!

Yup, it's kind of random. But we don't really care. Like every one of our products, it's about creating a better planet for us all.

It's also about time that we announce our program to go carbon neutral (hopefully carbon negative!) as an organization. Earlier this summer, a report was released showing the best locations to plant trees to help erase 100 years of carbon emissions. Turns out, many of the best areas in the world to focus on reforestation are where our artisan partners are located, so we're working hand-in-hand with women around the world to implement tree-planting programs in the communities where we work. Your purchases make this possible!

We're doing our best to be a company that's both good for the planet and good for the people who inhabit it. Thank you for being part of our community <3
