The Siskiyou forests of Northern California seem to be composed of an endless river of mountains supporting an equally endless array of tree species. The per acre biomass here out-measures the deepest heart of the Amazon basin. This rugged landscape, so alive, so remote, is not only the inspiration, but the source of all the fragrance ingredients in our Siskiyou Backpacker's Cologne. Here are some pictures from last week's adventure in this, one of our favorite wildernesses.
"Immediately I’m transported back to the Central California coastline, with its mix of ocean breeze, sage, and pine, even though we’re sitting on the 33rd floor of an office building—a green one, at least—in New York City. I’m pretty sure my eyes roll into the back of my head. This isn’t a headache-inducing faux Christmas tree smell, but something far more organic."

"One of the most pervasive mindsets of 21st century marketing seems to be that 'green is the new black' Labels like organic, biodynamic, sustainable, Fairtrade, FSC, ecological, natural, ISO, Better Cotton Initiative and so on all function to allure the environmentally conscious consumer; in total the global Ecolabel Index has more than 400 registered ecolabels. And even though some of all the 'green' seems like sugar coating generally consumers get healthier and more sustainable products. In spite of this, the fragrance industry is one that hasn’t been rocked much by the green wave. In fact, California’s Juniper Ridge is the world’s only fragrance company producing 100% natural colognes and perfumes wildcrafted from real plants, bark, moss, mushrooms, tree pitch, and other truly natural ingredients – the scent of the real outdoors."
