Capturing the many facets of the classic camping experience in a single wearable fragrance was no easy task, but like the final girl in a summer-camp horror flick, we were up for the challenge. After many formula iterations, we found the perfect balance, and Camp Xyrena was finally ready to be opened to the public. The fragrance is built on a wilderness accord of cedarwood, pine, sandalwood, and warm styrax resin with notes of damp earth, leaves, and ozone, plus a generous amount of birch tar oil so you can literally smell the smoky campfire. This woody base is then fused with a gourmand s’more accord of cinnamon graham cracker, melted milk chocolate, and toasted marshmallow, resulting in an unbelievably smooth fragrance that still maintains a consistent nature vibe without smelling synthetic. A modest amount of Iso E Super was added to enhance the cedar and pine notes and the warmth of the fragrance overall.

On both skin and clothing, Camp Xyrena dries down to the cozy, immediately recognizable yet hard-to-describe scent most of us just refer to as “that post-camping smell.” Whether you want to recall your fondest camping memories, transport yourself to Camp Crystal Lake (sans blood) for a Friday the 13th marathon, or wrap yourself in a comfy, aromatic nature blanket for any occasion, Camp Xyrena is an essential addition to your perfume library.
