06 Cabin Retreat

Yup — Cabin Retreat is exactly what it promises to be: a cozy but fresh, easygoing, everyday wear sandalwood scent that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It leans more masculine, but in a soft, approachable way that I can easily layer to add a touch of femininity when I want it. This is the kind of fragrance you can spray without thinking, and it just works. For me, this is a true daily‐wear scent for my man because we run a farm, and nothing about it feels offensive or out of place in that environment. Our horses aren’t going to run away or get ornery from an olfactory overload. It’s fresh woods — clean, smooth, and gentle — not a heavy, smoky cabin fantasy. Honestly, I was expecting deeper, richer woods, but apparently my “cabin retreats” in real life have been a little dustier than this. On a man, this would pair amazingly with a leather fragrance for a bit more masculine power. That combo would be chef’s kiss — rugged, fresh with a little bit of umph. And the price? Are you kidding me? For what it is, this is a total win for a daily spritz. Cozy fresh, wearable, budget‐friendly, and farm‐approved.

This is my comfort scent, especially in cooler weather. The cedar & sandalwood are so lovely together, and the oakmoss gives it an earthy depth. Personally, I don't get anything dirty or fungal from this. To me it's a heartwoody redolence that emerges in the warmth of the sun, not from the damp forest floor. After a few hours on my skin the woodsy notes develop a sweeter, almost airy tone. I tend to favor fragrances with a few key notes that weave together well, and this absolutely does that for a great price. Good longevity, moderate sillage, and with this sandalwood I detect only a hint of dill at first that quickly fades away. I believe this is a unisex scent, though it might skew slightly masculine for some. I don't care, I just love smelling like the woods. Better for cool weather than warm, but I do sometimes wear it even in the high heat of summer because I just miss it.

I love this scent so much. I would consider this my signature scent. It's pretty affordable (<60$ for 100mL), and they sell a body spray version at Walmart for around five dollars now. I like to use the body spray on the daily with a spritz of the perfume on my wrists in the morning. It smells very oakmoss-y and the cedar comes through as well. I don't pick up the sandalwood so much, though. Theres a spicy-ness to it that I don't see listed in the notes or accords, but I pick up on when I first apply the perfume. I don't notice it in the body spray though. I lean away from feminine smells and looks for more androgynous-leaning-masculine scents. This is the perfect sweet spot for masculine without being COLOGNE, if you know what I mean. Good for people who don't want to smell like a lady but also don't want to smell like teenage boy or seventy year old man.

This is my favorite perfume ever. I’ve gone through two bottles of it wearing almost every day. It is definitely more of a fall/winter scent but I typically wear all year round because I haven’t found anything I like better. Cannot even tell how many compliments I get about this perfume. Its deep and sexy and fun and sweet. 100000010

I adore this scent but it is not my everyday. I think it smells like hiking in the redwoods. It is super masculine but I really like it for women because it still just smells very natural and earthy. Not for everyone but if you want to smell like a Hozier song this is a good one.
