Acadian

As someone who is native to the Acadian peninsula in New Brunswick Canada, this perfume really nails the atmosphere of my homeland. From our vast forests to our coastal landscapes, it even evokes some of our history. I'm really thankful to even be getting any kind of representation, but having it come from my fragrance hobby is a treat. Personal connection aside, this is a great fresh green and "nippy" cold fragrance with a lot of character. I'll deduct one point simply for the fact that one specific note in this can transalte to rubber for some people. It genuinely doesn't for me but YMMV. This house rarely misses and if you enjoy this one you should definitely check out their other offerings. 9/10.

First couple seconds are FUNKY, but then it mellows out to a seaweed, grassy/green, salty, coniferous smell. After several hours, even the coniferous smell faded to reveal a salty scent that reminded me of being on a nice beach. A bit more masculine than I go for myself, but a nice fragrance nonetheless. I may see if I can get my husband to wear it instead. Edit: I tried this again and realized it was not in fact too masculine. The beginning is still funky, but I’m getting a lot of greenery and salt spray this time. Very pleasant.

This scent is an all timer for me. It's a brilliant oceanic green scent that takes me to the coast of Alaska, with bright pine and seaweed. It's super refreshing and picturesque. My only real critique is that it is super fleeting, maybe an hour or two before it fades pretty much completely, but it's delightful while it lasts.

So green in the best way! Very seaweed when fresh sprayed. The drydowns like freshly cut grass. so lovely and homey.

I’ve lived in Bar Harbor ( home of Acadia national park) for a while now. When I received this perfume during the winter it felt unrecognizable. But after working in the park this summer- I see it. The sweet and biting smell of morning fog that wafts off the ocean and brings back to life boundless heaps of moss and lichen when it reaches the shore, and the wildflowers that tend to linger in the Maine woods until very late summer. If it smells pickley like someone else mentioned, just give it some time to rest. My friends told me it smelled like olives when I first sprayed it- reader, it no longer smells like olives. My only critique is completely personal- many of these notes individually have no home in Acadia national park, like the yuzu and eucalyptus, but I suppose that’s the danger of naming a perfume off a specific landscape. Even so, it paints a beautiful picture of a wildflower field by the ocean, bordered by the forest- maybe not specifically Acadia or even Maine. I still can’t help but imagine if this scent had more of the scents that really bring me back to summer in the park like sweet fern, blueberry leaf, and balsam! I imagine it is not easy to get your hands on absolutes for most of those scents though. I have to give credit to the golden rod which /is/ included in this fragrence, and grows in every nook and cranny all summer long.
