Black Balsam

🌲 Black Balsam, An Artisan Folk Perfume by Wildfolk & Whimsy

At Wildfolk & Whimsy, scent isn’t just something we wear—it’s something we remember. Scent is more than adornment—it’s memory, mood, and meaning. Each fragrance is crafted slowly and with care, inspired by old ways of doing things—when perfume was personal, intentional, and worn close to the skin.

Solid perfumes are our foundation—the way this all began, and still the heart of what we do. Over time, the collection’s grown: rich extrait sprays, nourishing oils, and itty bitty “try me” sizes for those who want a whisper before the full song. But the soul of each scent remains the same—crafted slow, worn close, and made with care by real hands.

📖 Scent Story:

High atop the Blue Ridge, where moss-covered stones line the path and the balsam trees stand sentinel, Black Balsam carries the soul of the wild Appalachian woods. With crisp pine needles, velvety balsam fir, warm cedarwood, and a soft ribbon of vanilla at its base, this scent is grounding, green, and quietly majestic. It smells like a sacred walk—fog hanging low, boots muddy, and heart wide open.
