Mountain Sage

I was worried a "mountain" scent would just smell like pine cleaner, but this is way more subtle — cool air and dry stone, almost like standing above the treeline. It wears close to the skin and lasts a full workday without getting loud.

I've been wearing this on morning hikes and the dry-down is what sold me, like cold stone and pine needle without any sweetness. It's an artistic fragrance that actually smells like high altitude instead of a candle version of it. Two sprays lasted a full day on my jacket collar.

The green opening smells like crushed pine needles and cold air, exactly the high-altitude thing it's going for. It settles into something soft and herbal after an hour, and I've been reaching for it on gray mornings ever since.
