 Lemon Liada Cologne Sample 

~ 2018 Limited Edition Cologne ~

Our annual Summer cologne has arrived!  Welcome Lemon Liada.  Each year we launch a limited edition cologne in celebration of the Summer season. Just as fleeting as the warm weather and sunshine is to New England, so is the availability of our summer colognes.  

Please note our colognes follow the original definition of a cologne. Not necessarily for men, colognes are the lightest category of scent, typically formulated at 3-5% aromatics and classically citrus or herbaceous in style.  These light, fresh scents are meant to be applied liberally and frequently for maximum refreshment.

Lemon Liada contains cedrat, verbena, lotus, petitgrain, orris butter and mimosa. Notice the lack of actual lemon?  Our Lemon Liada cologne is a "lemon liar!"

Crisp, clean and lemony-fresh with a delicate lemon blossom drydown.

NEW

Our new botanical fragrance Love-In-A-Mist is named after a fragrant wildflower of the same name.  This rare distillation of nigella damascene (the flower romantically called "love in a mist") with it's honeyed floral aroma inspired perfumer Charna Ethier to create a scent reminiscent of barefoot summer walks through fields, the air rich with the scent of sweet clover, lilac and wildflower.  Close your eyes, feel the sun on your face and listen to the drone of the drowsy bumblebee and cicada.

Notes: love-in-a-mist, mimosa, pink peppercorn, sandalwood, sweet clover.  Floral and feminine.

5% of all sales of Samarinda will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund to facilitate their protection efforts in Borneo and Sumatra. Borneo and Sumatra are the only places on Earth where endangered tigers, rhinos, orangutans, and elephants live together. The forests are home to more than 15,000 known plants, with many more species yet to be discovered. Since 1995, more than 400 species have been identified on the islands, with more than 50 of these species completely new to science.  These rain forests are in danger of large-scale deforestation and extinction of endangered species.
