"Blessed is the person too busy to worry in the day time and too tired to worry at night." - Prairie Proverb

Wild Rose Country is inspired by wild rose, the official flower of Alberta and is one of my original scents that started off as a simple four essential oil blend. This iteration of Wild Rose Country is an approach to perfumery I have yet to try-- a duplicate of a pre existing fragrance usually from the perfumery world, more commonly known as a “dupe.” As I'm not one to disappoint those who have come to appreciate my style of scent blending, I've combined two dupes with a good portion of my own approach, for something unique to Macduff's Soap Company.

Wild Rose Country combines a dupe of Rose 31 by Le Labo (30 percent of the scent blend) and Killian's Angel Share (20 percent of the scent blend). The remaining 50 percent is a creation of my own that combines my own natural "fake" rose blend (ho wood, rose geranium, Egyptian geranium and rosewood), a touch of atlas cedar, hay absolute and palmarosa (a holdover to prior versions of WRC) that lend a slight "grassy" touch, and a base of benzoin, vanilla, sandalwood, labdanum and oud. The resulting scent is a sweet and spicy rose that has a rich, warm and woodsy base.
