'The fragrance not only calls forth associations you can immediately name, like the scents of hay, milk and cattle; it also tries to evoke an idea of space— a faraway horizon— and the sensation of a cold wind.' - Birthe Leemeijer
Designed to evoke a specific place— a polder in the Netherlands— this unusual scent blends hay, herbs and fresh-cut grass. We personally have never been to a polder in the Netherlands, so we can’t vouch for how accurately it captures one, but it makes us go a bit dreamy eyed remembering childhood visits to an aunt’s farm in the Midwest. This does indeed smell like the countryside. Clean and pristine countryside, in springtime, with cows a couple of pastures over and an emerald carpet of new grass under your feet. While there are no floral notes listed, we still get a sweet undercurrent that reminds us of wildflowers blooming in a meadow. There is a gentle creaminess and a soft earthy warmth under the nostalgic scent of freshly mown hay. You absolutely do not need to be from the Netherlands to feel the magic of this— it smells like another time, before industry and sprawling development. It smells like open spaces and uncluttered agendas. Genuine and utterly unique. |
