Cochise

Soil, fallen leaves, soft woodsmoke lingering in the Autumn air... freshly cut cedar, bound in leather—waxy, piney resins still oozing from every pore. Hint of bright, sour grapefruit in the opening. Bitter, earthy cowboy coffee. Citric effects of juniper and pine. Beautifully robust, spicy cedar. Campfires and cool nights spent inside by a gently stoked woodstove, the heat warming up the fragrant logs of the cabin walls... Absolutely superb! Reminiscent of nostalgic summer & fall nights spent with loved ones on beautiful land, as well as walking through a Northeastern pine forest after it rains. Sillage moderate, longevity outrageous. At $175/30mL of serious extrait in a lovely bottle, I consider it an awesome deal. Eric, the owner, is also a sweetheart, which cannot go unappreciated. I plan on adding at least another one or two of his to my collection. Bravo, good sir!!!

Resins and heart woods, crushed needles and scales. The dense soul of the fragrant plant materials I love best, but turned into a glorious atmospheric haze. Eric took all of the times I have gotten sweet pine sap on my hands and huffed them like a fiend, or lit a dried chunk of conifer resin ablaze as a natural incense, or inhaled the dark purple core of a freshly cut or broken Texas cedar, or rolled the leaves of a conifer or a medicinal desert scrub plant in my hands to release the fragrant magic they store - and merged them into one gorgeously balanced fantasy substance that floats around me as I go about my day. Top tier love.

This and Hearthmoor. My goodness how good they are! Performance are excellent on both! This is more of a piney take on the DNA. Both are built upon hefty dose of red cedars. Rich and deep. I couldn't have said it better to Stinkyriddle's post below.

This is probably one of the best artisanal cedar soliflares on the market right now. It’s rich, spicy, warm, Smokey, and woody. There’s a darkness here that is brooding and austere. But make no mistake Cochise is about raw Cedar in all it’s glory. I find this difficult to wear at times not because it’s challenging but rather you must be committed to smelling like a cedar forest where incense is being burned for 12 hours or more. Excellent fragrance.
