Place-Based Scents

Small Batch Goods For Everyday Rituals

Late summer has a way of slowing things down on the coast. The days are still long, but there a subtle shift in the air that reminds us another season is just around the corner.

Here in Tofino, we've been in the studio pouring, blending, and wrapping each offering by hand. Every bar, bottle and candle are thoughtfully made in small batches with care and deep connection to this place we call home.

Thank you for supporting our family business and for inviting what we make into your everyday riturals.

With Care,

OUR CUSTOMERS SAY IT BEST

Forest Bathing | fir cedarwood pine sandalwood vetiver | Botanical Soap

"Strongly Recommend! Decided to spurge on The Hobbyist line of bath and body care products the holiday season. Was planning to give some away as gifts but ended up keeping the bulk of my order for myself. The botanical soaps are my favourite. Will buy again."

On the Inlet Shampoo | Botanical Hair Care Collection | 500 ml bottle

"Absolute Magic! I’m so finicky when it comes to shampoo…not too drying, not too oily…and this is the goldilocks of hair care. Plus the smell is sensational. I love this shampoo!"

On the Inlet | mint rosemary cedarwood lavender | PNW Candle

"Beautifully and sustainably packaged. I was able to repurpose most of the packaging too! They really put the utmost care into their products. The On the Inlet Candle is my favourite scent! I've never found such a clean combination of mint and lavendar. It's just wonderful."

♡ Love Notes ♡

  1. Why We Light Candles for the People We Miss

    A quiet reflection on why people have lit candles for loved ones throughout history, and how a simple flame can become a meaningful ritual of remembrance, comfort, and continuing love.

  2. Saying Yes to Less

    Lately, I've been thinking a lot about what it means to grow a business. For years, I believed growth meant adding more. More products. More scents...
  3. You Should Be Able to Recognize the Ingredients Creating the Scent of Your Perfume

    Most perfumes ask you to trust a single word: fragrance. Our Plant Perfumes take a different approach. Learn how hydrosols, essential oils, and real botanicals come together to create transparent scents inspired by life on the west coast.
