How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Balsam Fir
Originating from the resinous barks of fir trees, Balsam Fir carries with it the scent of dense coniferous woods and a hint of fresh pine. Its aroma is both earthy and uplifting, reminiscent of walking through an evergreen forest on a cold day, where the air is sharp and invigorated by the chill.
Cypress
Cypress is an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean and parts of Asia. Its scent is crisp and clean, reminiscent of freshly cut grass or pine needles, but with a subtle herbal twist that evokes the outdoors. This natural aroma makes it a favorite among perfumers for its ability to create a sense of freshness and vitality.
Rosemary
Rosemary, with its pine-like aroma and herbal vigor, originates from the Mediterranean. Its scent is both medicinal and refreshing, evoking images of sun-drenched hillsides and aromatic fields. This versatile herb brings an unmistakable freshness to perfumery, enhancing any blend with its crisp and clean character.

Salted Fig, Tropical Rain
A Grove's salty fig, olive, and pine stay coastal and green, then Evil Angel's tropical fruit, lime, and rain notes bring in a warmer, juicier direction. Citrus threads both, clementine against lime, so the shift from Mediterranean herbs to tropical fruit feels like a single walk from shore to jungle.
Spray A Grove on the chest first for the green, salty base, then add Evil Angel at the wrists so the tropical fruit and rain notes layer in after a few minutes.
