Behind the Scents: Our Craft, Our Inspiration, Our Story

At Adirondack Fragrance, we believe fragrance is more than just a scent—it’s a feeling, a memory, a way to connect with nature. Our mission is simple: to bottle the essence of the Adirondacks and bring it to you through our handcrafted soaps, perfumes, candles, diffusers, lotions, and creams.

Every product we make starts with our land, our hands, and our hearts—a process that’s been the soul of our farm for over four decades. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we bring the Adirondacks to life through scent.


Handmade Soaps: A Time-Honored Tradition

Soap-making is where our journey began, and we still craft every bar using the cold process method—an old-world technique that requires patience, skill, and dedication. Each batch is hand-mixed, poured, and cut by our artisans, then cured for over three weeks to ensure a luxurious lather and skin-nourishing benefits. Unlike mass-produced soaps, our bars are free from harsh detergents, instead infused with botanicals, essential oils, and wild-harvested ingredients straight from our 160-acre farm.

Artisan Perfumes: Capturing Nature’s Essence

Perfume-making at Adirondack Fragrance is a slow and thoughtful process. We start by creating tinctures from handpicked Adirondack botanicals, steeping them in alcohol until they release their natural fragrance.

Each scent is carefully crafted, balancing top, middle, and base notes to reflect the wild beauty of the Adirondacks.

Hand-Poured Candles: Bringing the Adirondacks Indoors

Our candles are more than just home fragrances—they’re moments of Adirondack serenity, captured in wax. Each one is hand-poured in small batches and made with a proprietary blend of natural waxes, ensuring a clean, even burn with scents that transport you to misty mountain mornings or cozy forest cabins.

Our bestsellers, like Balsam Fir & Cedarwood, are reminiscent of a crisp Adirondack hike, while our Lilac are reminiscent of a blooming spring garden, filling your space with the enchanting aroma of fresh lilacs.
