If I'm out for a hike in the spring/summer, there is no fragrance that captures the experience quite like Beach Hut Man.

This is very much my fall equivalent. The dry, earthy notes crunching leaves under your feet. The crisp juiciness of biting into a freshly picked apple. The sweetness of maple being freshly tapped. The comfort of exiting the cool shade of the forest and being embraced by the sunlight.

There is no fragrance in my collection that brings about the visceral nostalgia of my childhood in the Hudson Valley with my parents. Hiking in Hook Mountain. Going apple picking. Halloween hay rides. This is going to be in my collection for the rest of my life!

A quick note regarding performance. According to other fragrance databases, this has terrible performance. I absolutely can't understand how people think this. It's one of the most powerful fragrances in my collection. The projection and sillage are arguably TOO strong at times- if you overspray this, you WILL offend others. The longevity is insane as well. Currently 9 hours post-spray and it's still a strong skin scent.

    Oh, New England falls are the most amazing thing. I used to live in Boston for some years and I miss the apple picking and cider donuts!! I'll have to get my nose on this one 🙂‍↕️
