Maine perfume

A few years ago, my dad took my sister and me on a fall weekend trip to Bar Harbor, Maine. We stayed in a charming old B&B and made it our goal to eat lobster for every single meal, including lobster scrambled eggs, bisque, rolls, whole lobsters, and even a McDonald's McLobster...
Even though it rained almost the whole time, the trip was one of the best I've ever taken. So I was psyched to discover this Maine perfume. Wouldn't you love to smell its sea, air, sun, pine and grassy scent?

  6. Wow! I was in Maine last weekend for a wedding and the idea of bottling it into a perfume is quite dreamy. Mount Desert Island is one of the most beautiful places on this Earth and I'm happy to hear Bar Harbor warmed your heart the way the whole state continues to warmed mine. Thanks for sharing, xo

  7. Maine is seriously one of my favorite places on earth - I can still picture the benches near my favorite lobster shack, overlooking the water. Also, I must try their Maui perfume - I love the description!

  10. What a great idea. You know, I think someone should make a New York perfume. We can fill it with smog, falafel, soft pretzels, and subway steam! ;)

  20. This blog is obsessed with Maine! As a Mainer, I wish you would write about more than Maine's oceans and lobster. I live in the mountains and it's sad that flat-landers (he-he) don't know more about the beauty of Maine besides the ocean.

  34. LOVE Maine! Went on so many vacations there growing up because it's the state neighbouring the (Canadian) province where I grew up, New Brunswick. Bar Harbor is totally charming.

    I'd be curious about the perfume!

    I love the perfume idea of Maine, but for $110, I think I'll just rub some blueberries and pine on my wrists.

    I have been searching for something exactly like this. I am from the coast of Maine, and really there is nothing like that fresh sea smell. As well, my mom and dad live just a boat ride from the perfume's island inspiration (North Haven). Yea Maine!

  44. i think maine looks so lovely. i have been trying to convince my boyfriend to take a trip there with me some day but he is convinced that it is just freezing cold and nasty all the time.

  45. I named my son Harbor after Bar Harbor Maine so I'll take it as a sign I should by the perfume. Of course it will have to be rotated with In the Library perfume since I'm also a book loving librarian.

  46. Bar Harbor is hands down one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. I have family that lives downtown and my Mom lived there this entire summer so I was lucky enough to visit twice. You have to go back for sunshine.

  47. This sounds amazing! Being landlocked since moving to Europe has been painful (I hail from coastal CA) - this would be the perfect thing to remind me of the sea. Thanks for the great find!
