OLO Fragrance perfume oils are made with coconut oil, essential oils, key accords and absolutes. Synthetics are used sparingly. All natural products are listed as such. No animal testing.
SCENT DESCRIPTIONS:
Arboreta: Green Leaves, Birch, Fir & White Musk. Surrender to sleep and dream of wandering tree lined paths. Every turn reveals disparate shades of green, sunlight filtering through rain soaked leaves.
Cedar & Rose: Cedar, Rose & Rosewood. Reminiscent of a stroll through the Portland Rose Test Garden. The wind carried scent of cedar from the forest, intertwined with a field of roses.
Dark Wave: Cardamom, Indonesian Vetiver & Wood. Originally created for a fall event kicking off the dreary rains set to inundate Portland for nine months. The scent is meant to envelop you, to protect you from the downpour.
Erastus: Tobacco, Whiskey & Wood. Imagine old man Erastus taking a walk through the Coastal Range. He gets to a cliff overlooking the ocean, takes out the small cedar box holding his tobacco and rolls up a smoke.
Forêt: Cedar, Juniper, Pine & Vetiver. It represents all the forests you have ever taken a walk through.
Lightning Paw: Bergamot, Jasmine, Patchouli & Vanilla. Free-spirited and feminine without even trying to be, a reflection of her.
Meadow: Bitter Orange, Lavender, Evergreen, Labdanum. Late afternoon sunlight washes over you, warming the breeze borne from the meadow like a gentle whisper of juniper, lavender and coniferous evergreen.
Nationale 6/7: Jasmine, Lemon, Rose & Sandalwood. Nationale is a gallery/shop in Portland. This scent was created in collaboration with owner, May Barruel. Like the old world rose soaps in her shop, it smells like a perfume from another time and place.
Palo Santo: Palo Santo, Siam Wood, White Champa Flower. Palo Santo or “holy wood” has been burned by healers for years to cleanse, purify and protect the spirit. This blend is a modern take on energy clearing rites of old.
Toji: Yuzu, Hinoki & Hiba. Based on the baths popular in Japan during winter solstice. A bright citrus similar to grapefruit, yuzu is floated in steaming hot tubs of water. Hiba wood from the bath mats brings forth the wet warmth of cedar.
Vetiver: Vetiver, Saffron. The scent of Vetiver’s deep grass roots is an amalgam of life from the soil, the essence of the earth.
Victory Wolf: Smoke, Wood. This scent makes you feel like it’s there for a reason, an event or an act caused it to be. It’s the lingering smoke left on your clothes after a night around the fire.
Violet/Leather: Leather, Rosewood & Violet. “Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.”- Mark Twain
Wyeth: Pine Resin, Salt Water, Moss. An elevating mist blowing off the ocean combined with wet moss and wood from the trees along the Northwest coast.
Inspired by Mesopotamian architecture, the incense holder perfectly suspends stick incense and is a perfect pedestal to watch your incense burn.
