Nick's Note:

'White Fir' was constructed in a similar manner to Ponderosa. I created a co-extraction of white fir resin and needles, refined it into an absolute, and then wore this on my skin a number of times to familiarize myself with its nuances. I selected a series of notes for this perfume that I felt were already present to some degree in the raw extract and added a few structural components, the result is 'White Fir'.

This new version of white fir (which could be called White Fir II, or White Fir '25) was created with the same vision in mind as the original but remade from the ground up. Structurally it is quite different than the previous iteration and includes more differences than can be noted here, but some of the key changes include much higher quantities of our in-house extracted white fir absolute, as well as white fir tincture and artisan-distilled white fir essential oil from our partners at Phibee aromatics. These white fir extracts are all made with material gathered from white fir trees along the Mogollon Rim, AZ, gathered under permit. It also features a fascinating new proprietary orange peel absolute that lends long-lasting citrus quality to the blend. The quantity of citrus from the old edition is decreased, though the bitter orange and orange absolute in the new version is more concentrated and potent. Also added is a unique artisan scotch pine absolute and CO2 that we managed to source this year. There is more cedar, including a rare cedarwood absolute, as well as traces of iris, vanilla, heliotrope, juniper berry, and frankincense."
