"I had the pleasure of spending two days in the hills of Big Sur with the Juniper Ridge crew. We foraged for flowers, hiked to swimming holes, and drank whiskey by the fire. It was a reminder that we all need a quiet escape once in a while, and now you can buy that reminder in a bottle."
We couldn't have said it better ourselves. Many thanks to Jose Mandojana for shooting these wonderful images of a recent wildcrafting trip, be sure and visit his site for more.
"I always think of myself as being an accidental perfumer. I grew up in Portland, Oregon and spent my summers hiking and backpacking around the lakes and peaks of the Casacades – Mt. Hood, Mt Jefferson, The Three Sisters … just saying those names brings some kind of magic into the room for me and that’s what my perfume is all about. If I can put a summer day on Mt. Hood’s timberline trail when the wildflowers are peaking into a bottle, well, that’s just the most beautiful thing that there is or could ever be."
