Cape Disappointment by Treading Water

Cape Disappointment

By: Treading Water

General Notes

  • ambergris
  • coastal wood
  • musk
  • salty ocean air
  • seaweed

With Cape Disappointment I wanted to create something truly reminiscent of the PNW coast in the fall. Sweet fir balsam, fir needle, cedar wood and cypress are the woody foundation that the scent is built on evoking the coastal forests. The seaweed absolute, salt accord and an ambergris reconstruction combine to evoke the delightful stink that the ocean has but is often omitted from ocean perfumes.
