This collaboration between Spruce & Wild Coast Perfumery is our representation of a love affair ending, while still celebrating the beauty of the time offered. The thought bubble for this scent stemmed from an evening romance, and became the poem first to inspire Wild Coast Perfumery. With a few back and forth visits and slight tweaks, Laurie created this essence seemingly effortlessly. Following the story, the poem, and the product, we then needed a still photo capture. 
What an artistic journey, involving so many. 

When winter turns to spring.

On the edge of the woods

I met you there—

Anticipating the warmth of your hands as I felt a mild chill on my skin

My heart beat seeing your eyes so visibly striking under just the light of dusk

You kissed my body, then kissed my mouth and I laughed— 

breaking the universal quiet to live in the sound of us

I could taste me on your lips

The slight mist of midnight offered a bouquet of wild

That magical essence of winter turning to spring

And I knew, as the seasons changed

So would we

But I could hold you here, in this perfume

On me

I realized last night

how I felt—

Qualities of you rolled through my mind

Then all at once, it happened.

That same feeling 

as tipping onto a wave—

Butterflies

Nervous to loose balance 

But smiling 

The ocean made her come alive

As if to wake all of her cells at once

Anything that didn’t matter drifted away

To be left only with a deep sense of peace

That expanding feeling from the depths of her heart

That unmeasurable moment where she feels like she’s 

exactly where she needs to be—

Free.

SpruceBabe

She seeks light in the shadows

But never fears the dark—
