Havenhollow

Ways to Shop:

Havenhollow is an independent artisan perfume house in Lee, Maine, founded and run as a one-person operation by perfumer Eric Valentino. The brand crafts what Valentino calls "perfumed endeavors and other aromatic tales" — left-of-the-dial parfum extraits built to capture deeply personal, transportive, nostalgic imagery, drawn from the pastoral New England Octobers of his childhood, shrouded coniferous forests, snow-draped evergreens, and the sappy fingers of wreath-making with fir boughs. Every fragrance is hand-compounded from fine raw materials with heavy reliance on rare botanical absolutes, oils, tinctures, and natural-material extracts sourced globally. Signature releases include Bramblesap ($170 for 16ml extrait — co-distilled pinyon pine needles/resin/cones/sapwood, pine saps, mulberry, apricot, oakwood, red fir, blood cedar, Burmannii cinnamon, mulling spice, maple, fossilized amber resin, wilted rose, castoreum tincture) and Hearthmoor ($160 for 33ml — Alaskan, Incense, Blood, and Hiba cedars, white oak, Scots pinewood, woodsmoke, wild red apple, brown bread, maple sap, Centennial hops, sheep's wool). 1.5ml samples run $8.
