Shinrin Yoku in Oregon
"It is the scent of the coastal area, which is about 20 minutes from my home and has always been my main source of inspiration:
The aromatic pine needles, sun-warmed lichens, the dusty hiking trails, and countless streams and rivers. That’s why I wanted to create this scent - so that people from all over can experience Oregon's forests. It doesn’t last as long as I would like, and it doesn’t have a great development, but it remains true to the region.
That’s how I would categorize some of my fragrances.. They may not be the most wearable, but they transport."
(Translated quote from Lisa Lindner, from one of our many conversations. I am so glad to know you.)

About the scent:

Cascadia opens like a strong gust of wind sweeping through the branches of the trees and over the needle-covered forest floor. The spicy-menthol scent of fresh pine needles and resin-dripping bark rises to the nose and throat, revitalizing the skin and awakening the senses, as if one were walking through the shady forest on a hot summer day, consciously perceiving all the many impressions.
Running a hand over the gnarled trees and through the cool moss, looking up at the sky to observe the shadows and the dancing light between the swaying leaves, and crushing pine needles between the fingers to inhale the resinous sap that coats the fingertips like sticky honey.

As the sharp freshness subsides, a warm, sweet aroma spreads, reminiscent of ambered woods, roots and herbs, and the fruity-bitter scent of orange slices simmering in red wine.
I imagine an old, slightly crooked forest cabin standing in a lovely clearing. Smoke rises from the small chimney, and the wooden, somewhat rotten door covered in lichens stands ajar. I step inside. The room is dusty and run-down. Nevertheless, it is clear that the lodge was once very cozy and comfortably furnished. In the open fireplace stands an old cast-iron kettle. The fire has long since burned down. I step closer to the kettle and sniff. It is empty, but one can see that various (wine-based) herbal brews have been prepared in it. Over the years, a (blackened) layer of herbal and spice residues has formed, emitting a spicy-earthy and slightly sweet scent.

I end my day in the forest and walk across the open field back home. A few times, a delicate, menthol-harsh scent wafts from my sticky fingers and the pine twigs that have gotten caught in my hair into my nose. It was lovely!

Waldernative
‘Cascadia’ plays with similar tones as ‘Winter Amber’ from the same house: conifer. However, we are dealing with more thuja or fir essence, while the sibling variant leans more towards the gentler Douglas fir (although a surprise follows; see below). In fact, today’s candidate is even quite close to fir essence, including the almost sweaty, sticky-sour resin note that at least that variant of the healing brew has, which I regularly use to rub my son's aching ankles.

After about an hour, however, the guessing begins. The sparse description “conifer” does not remotely capture the perfumer's intention. She herself lists various species, namely “Doug Fir [Douglas Fir!], Noble Fir [Noble Fir], Spruce [Spruce], Incense Cedar [Incense Cedar], and Western Red Cedar [Western Red Cedar].” Unfortunately, I am not only lacking in expertise regarding the specifically North American coniferous nature, but I am also overwhelmed by such a plethora in itself. What is certain is that olfactory adventurers should be pleased, as what is offered is rich, far removed from ‘In the Woods’ by eSENSielle, where a penetrating synthetic quality flattens everything into dimensionality despite contrary claims. Here, it is generously coniferous - let’s leave it at that.

In any case, it soon becomes milder and creamier, also sweeter - as if an amber-like note is trying its luck. The fir essence is gone, with only a remnant of bitterness accompanying me throughout the entire scent journey. This is followed by a sort of musty-knotted intermezzo, during which an amber-vetiver scent is teased by an underlying camphor fragment, before ‘Cascadia’ - still in the morning - gradually finds its concluding chord in a combination of gravelly vetiver and sharp citrus fruit (I would have guessed grapefruit). Everything else has become secondary.

This now strongly resembles common vetiver-citrus fresh scents, thus it is not exactly original; but I like that such things can apparently also be “natural.” The longevity is acceptable at around five to six hours, especially since the aromas remain high-quality in a natural scent-typical manner until the end.

From the promised Lapsang Souchong, I smell little. Often this mention indicates brutal smoke, but here it is limited to an impression when sniffing the tube and otherwise at most a vague hint.

Conclusion: Decent.

I thank Jumi for procuring the sample.

Pine forest sharpness, freshly blown with a camphor breeze. Moss hinted at in a dull way. A friend of Juniper Ridges, no doubt.

A lot of gnarled, resinous conifer - I like it, although I miss a touch of freshness here. (Complaining at a high level here :-) )

Here, freshly cut conifer dominates: bright resin everywhere. If you enjoy that like I do, this is a consistent execution.
