At Juniper Ridge, our scents are born from the plants, trees, and resins that grow wild in our western American landscapes. But just as the wilderness changes with the seasons, so too do the aromas it shares. Exploring the shifting scents of each season not only brings us closer to the rhythms of nature—it deepens our appreciation for the land.
Experience The Seasons
Spring: New Growth and Subtle Aromas
Spring in the wild is a season of awakening. The earth softens, buds break open, and the air fills with the faint but intoxicating perfume of fresh greenery and rain-washed soil. From mountain to coast, young shoots of ferns, wildflowers, and budding branches release delicate, hopeful scents.
Fragrance inspiration: Lighter notes like citrusy conifers, tender shoots, and fresh, clean resins.
Our Cascade Forest line captures that vibrant, rain-kissed feeling while Coastal Pine brings a softer, sweeter seaside awakening.
Summer: Resinous Heat and Sun-Warmed Stone
As temperatures rise, the wilderness begins to release its bolder, sun-infused scents. Pine needles bake under the sun, resins drip from the trunks of firs and junipers, and sagebrush releases a heady, almost spicy aroma.
Fragrance inspiration: Warm, bold notes like sun-scorched bark, crushed herbs, and smoky resins.
Desert Cedar and Sierra Forest products embody camping in the summer’s golden intensity, similar and opposing notes echoing an array of landscapes.
Autumn: Earthy Depth and Forest Richness
Autumn brings the deep, grounding scents of moss, fallen leaves, and damp earth. Mushrooms peek through the forest floor, and the cooling air sharpens the scents of pine, fir, and cedar. It's a time of reflection, slowing down, and tuning into the deep pulse of the forest.
Fragrance inspiration: Earthy, woody, and mossy scents with undertones of sharpness.
Try Redwood Mist for a scent that echoes late-season hikes and ancient trees.
Winter: Crisp Air and Conifer Clarity
Winter strips the forest down to its bare bones, revealing a quiet beauty. Snow dampens sound, but intensifies scent. The sharp, invigorating aroma of pine and fir cuts through the cold, offering clarity and a bracing sense of stillness.
Fragrance inspiration: Clean, resinous conifers and cool herbal notes.
Our cult-favorite seasonal release Christmas Fir encapsulates this crisp serenity.
