Wayfaring Stranger

Wayfaring Stranger, 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:

Wayfaring Stranger walks that holy edge—the kind of scent that smells like a gospel song hummed low through the trees, or a fire you shouldn’t stand too close to. It opens with saffron, warm and sharp as a hymn note stretched tight in the chest. Cedarwood follows like old floorboards in a country chapel—steady, strong, a little creaky with memory. But it’s the honey that steals the show: thick, golden, and wild, as if poured straight from the comb under a full moon. It finishes with smooth, smoky sandalwood, grounding the whole thing in skin and shadow.

This one doesn’t whisper—it testifies. Deep, rich, and a little dangerous, it’s perfect for evening wear, long drives, and anyone who knows redemption and ruin aren’t always far apart.
