Most people have a very specific idea of what cedar smells like.

What you find in big box store candles is usually a generic, commercially produced scent that smells more like a hardware store than an actual forest.

Incense cedar is entirely different. While it is not botanically a true cedar, it produces one of the most incredible and complex scents in the Pacific Northwest. Its fresh boughs have a warm, rich, and incredibly spicy profile that is unique to the living tree.

We selectively harvest and distill these fresh tips to capture that exact scent.

If you are burnt out on generic "woodsy" scents, head to our site to experience what the living forest actually smells like.

I get a lot of questions about how to use the hydrosols that come free with new orders from Rogue Evergreens.

My personal favorite way is just like this. When you are out working in the heat and covered in sap & dust, there is nothing better than a pure forest refresh.

But a lot of folks also use them daily as a natural facial toner or an aftershave. It is a great way to tighten your skin without using drying alcohols or synthetic fragrances.

Head to the website, join the newsletter, and your free hydrosol will automatically be added to your first order. Let me know what you think when you try it.

The Pacific yew completely revolutionized cancer treatment in the 1960s. Its bark contains Taxol, a powerful compound that prevents cancer cells from replicating.

Early on, harvesting it was highly destructive. It required the bark of a whole tree to yield just one dose, and removing that bark is fatal to the yew. Today, the medical industry creates the drug in a lab without needing to strip wild trees.

This species highlights the incredibly complex chemistry at work out in the woods. It is a perfect example of why the tallest trees in the canopy do not always hold the most value.

Employee #1 at Rogue Evergreens, even if he steals my boots.

Beau (aka Mr. Bubba) has come a LONG way in the 4 years he's been in my life, and I smile like an absolute idiot every time he decides to give playing another go. Goodest boy around.

Did you know there is a pine tree that naturally smells like butterscotch and freshly-baked cookies?

If you catch the scent of Ponderosa Pine bark on a warm day, that underlying sweetness is unmistakable.

To capture the true essence of this incredible tree, we distill its needles & lower limbs. The resulting essential oil is beautifully complex and nothing like your typical, sharp pine scent. Instead, it offers a warm, earthy, and almost floral profile that perfectly highlights those unique, sweet undertones the Ponderosa is famous for.

The Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion is incredibly special.

As a forester, one of the things I love most about working out here is the sheer number of conifer species you'll come across. It’s actually one of the most diverse conifer forests in the world. You can literally stand in one spot and point out a dozen different species without even moving your feet.

That natural complexity is exactly what makes the woods around here smell so distinct, and it's a big part of why I do what I do.

What is your favorite conifer to spot when you're out hiking? Let me know below. 🌲

Yes, I started Rogue Evergreens out of spite. 😂🌲

As a forester who has spent most of my life working with trees, I was completely fed up with products that claimed to smell like pine, cedar, spruce, or fir, but smelled absolutely nothing like the real thing.

I know what the forest actually smells like. So, when I couldn't find a product that authentically captured it, I decided to make my own.

Now, almost exactly a year later, we’ve shipped nearly 2,000 orders to people who want the true scent of the Pacific Northwest in their homes. Thank you all for the incredible support!

Real pine scent doesn’t come from a chemistry lab.

During our distillation process, you can literally watch the pure Ponderosa Pine essential oil separate from the water. The oil holds the heavy, concentrated scent. But the water cycling below it? That’s the hydrosol.

While essential oils are potent, hydrosols are subtly scented. They capture all the water-soluble botanical compounds from the plant, making them naturally astringent and incredibly refreshing.

I use them every day as a facial toner, a soothing aftershave, and a body mist.

We just released a Discovery Pack featuring five distinct Pacific Northwest evergreen hydrosols. Tap below to find your favorite and bring the real forest into your daily routine. 🌲

Have you ever heard of a forest hydrosol? It’s the pure, aromatic water produced during our essential oil distillation, capturing the water-soluble compounds of the plant.

I use it daily as a refreshing facial toner, aftershave, and body mist.

Douglas-fir essential oil, straight from the still!

Behind the scenes, steam passes through fresh Douglas-fir boughs, pulls the aromatic compounds from the needles, then carries them into the condenser, where it cools back into a liquid.

Then comes the best part: the pure Douglas-fir essential oil separates out and floats to the top of the distillate.

We use this oil to scent our Douglas-fir lineup, nothing synthetic, just steam and trees. 🌲
