Just up the road from our family farm was the old yardsite where my grandpa had been born. By the time I was growing up, the farm itself had long since faded away. The house was gone and the buildings had disappeared into memory. What remained were a few quiet pieces of the past. An old wooden grain bin, a tall spruce tree, and one lilac bush that had somehow carried on through the years.
The land had become pasture by then. Each year, as spring finally gave way to early prairie summer, that lilac bush would come into bloom along the edge of the pasture. A reminder of what had once been.
You could see it from the road while riding past be it on the school bus, tractor or bicycle, a soft cloud of blossoms rising above the prairie grasses. The scent would carry across the pasture, sweet and unmistakable.
As a kid, I'd often stop along the fence line, climbing over the barbed wire with the cows watching nearby, and walk out through the grass to the bush. I'd cut a few branches and ride them home balanced carefully on my handlebars to bring a bouquet back for my mom.
I’ve often wondered if it was my great grandma who'd planted that bush when the farm was first settled. Whoever placed it there likely never imagined it would still be blooming long after the homestead itself was gone.
Pink Lilac was created with that memory in mind.
The fragrance opens with jasmine and fresh green grass, capturing the feeling of the prairie coming back to life after winter. At the heart, lilac blooms alongside rose and muguet, recreating the richness of those blossoms in the warm air. A soft base of blue willow gives the fragrance a light, airy finish that lets the florals linger.
It’s a scent that carries the quiet beauty of early prairie summer, when the lilacs are blooming and the land feels alive again.
