Some fragrances don't belong to a single season.

They remain while everything around them changes.

Inspired by the enduring beauty of the Pacific Northwest, L'Orée du Bois captures the quiet comfort of a timber lodge nestled at the edge of the woods. Mist drifts between towering evergreens before giving way to warm summer afternoons scented with sunlit pine needles. Friends gather around a crackling fire as evening settles over the mountains, a well-crafted cocktail in hand, while the familiar scent of cedar, earth, and weathered timber lingers in the air, unchanged through every season.

Rich, comforting, and quietly adventurous, L'Orée du Bois is a fragrance for those who believe the places we love are the ones that stay with us long after we've gone.

Originally created exclusively for one of our longtime retail partners, L'Orée du Bois quickly became one of their most-loved fragrances. We're thrilled to finally welcome it into the Great Northern collection.

Pair it with the matching L'Orée du Bois Room Perfume. Scent your space and yourself together and it becomes a memory.

Which size should I choose? +

4 oz | 118 mL: a sweet way to try a new scent, and great for bathrooms and desks. 8 oz | 237 mL: the everyday favorite for bedrooms and offices. 16 oz | 473 mL: made for living rooms and open spaces, and the best value per ounce.

How do I get the best burn? +

On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge (about 1 hour per inch of width). This prevents tunneling and gives you the strongest scent throw. Trim the wick before every burn (about 1/8 inch for our wood wicks), and burn no more than 4 hours at a time.

What's the free mystery sample? +

Every order of $65 or more gets a surprise sample, hand-picked by us from our fragrance library. You don't choose it. That's half the fun, and it's how many customers find their next favorite.
