The Raconteur x Brand Tasmania
Over the past year or so I've been fortunate to collaborate with the Brand Tasmania team on designing a room fragrance that captures the essence of this beautiful island state I am fortunate to call home.
From Binalong Bay to Cape Grim, King Island to Bruny Island, the Tarkine to the Three Capes, Freycintet to Oatlands and literally everywhere in between, this is a spectacularly diverse island, but the highlight for me was undoubtedly the time I spent at Lake St Clare and the alpine region getting to know an extraordinary range of botanicals that are endemic to Tasmania.
King Billy and Huon pine are the hero's of this first fragrance l've created. They would have to be two of the most exquisite woods I have ever smelled - nothing like the classic pine - but more closely resembling Morocco's ancient Atlas Cedarwood.
Lemon Boronia (found in the Lake District) compliments the all-star lineup together with the more well known Kunzea, Mountain Pepper and Blue Gum. There's also an apple note, of course, to acknowledge the deep role this juicy fruit has played in the state's history and celebrate the role of our farmers in cultivating the land.
