GRASSLANDSGOLDEN GRASSY HERBS

This perfume is delicate and fresh. It was a beautiful sent for my wedding day and I will forever look back on it with a loving memory. It is a light perfume and lasts maybe a half day with one or two sprays. The best way I can describe the smell is the crushed leaves of fresh picked lavender.

Sweet Grass is a delightful herbal, hay-centered fragrance that I came upon while digging into herbal perfumes. The juxtaposition of complexly dried spicy hay with the vibrant whiff of yellow flowers and amber seed is both masculine and crowd-pleasing; the smooth tobacco lingering attractive keeps you cannot stop sniffing. This one, along with St.Clair First Cut, should be on my list of top hay fragrances.

Stunning fragrance!!!

I really love this scent. It’s green and sweet all at once. It’s warm and very comforting. It’s not overpowering but lasts most of the day.

I originally got myself four samples of the scents I thought I’d be most interested in. When I tried Grasslands for the first time, I had a true emotional reaction. I have many favourite smells that either remind me of someone who wears it, or just generally makes me happy because they’re particularly pleasant to me. Grasslands was something that wrapped me in memory. To me it smells like all the warm summer adventures I took in the country, sometimes all alone, lying in a meadow with the flowers and leaves sweating their scents into the air and transferring to my skin and clothes. It connects me to those deep and intimate moments in nature, where I came to understand my passion for communing with all the living things. That smell bottled is a true gift. It’s also really special to understand how many other people recognize this perfume in the same way and connect it to the same kinds of memories. Makes me feel connected to myself. I hope as Paraphrase grows more successful, that they will not change their methods and keep it as authentic as it is now ❤️

This perfume is just so amazing! Like summer in a bottle!

Brings up memories of fresh cut hay, sweet clover and sunny days in later summer. Comes off strong but mellows out to a subtle scent on skin.
Love it.

I grew up on a farm in England and we used to bale our hay in the late summer. Small square bales. My Dad would drive the tractor and his helpers would all follow behind the baler and lift the square bales with the two heavy duty strings that it was tied with and throw them all onto the back of a trailer where I was sitting usually with a farm dog. It was always warm. Everything was golden. Grassland is what the air would smell like. This is what I want to smell like.

Calm sweet fields of grass and hay in the sun.

I first tried this fragrance in the sample set, and knew I needed it in full size. It's such a warm, comforting scent, like a hay field in August. I can practically hear the cicadas when I wear it.

Bottle arrived quickly and was well packaged. Smells just like the sample.

On my second travel size which is rare since I love trying new scents, but this is one that has stuck in my late summer/autumn rotation. I find it quite spicy and smoky on first spritz, but dries down to a lingering sweet earthiness and warmth that clings to my scarves and sweaters. A very unique and versatile scent to add to any collection!

I really wanted to like this because I imagined some sun-kissed hay fields with earth and maybe a little tea. However, it is fougere from the bottom up. I hope that over time with maceration it improves. Still a well made fragrance, price point is a little high 3.5/5.

This one just wasn’t my cup of tea. It smelled like those stuffed animals that you warm up in the microwave, then took a huge whiff directly after. It’s just not exactly what I want to smell like, but I’ve seen mixed things on how people perceive this scent so I still suggest to give it a try if you’re intrigued.

This is the grassy fragrance that I've been seeking. Herbal, earthy, not too sweet. Feels like a memory more than a moment, bare feet padding over crisp, warm fields. My one critique is that it fades quickly!

Grasslands is a really nice fragrance featuring notes of lavender, tonka bean, fresh cut grass and a touch of rosemary. Very earthy and herbal. Perfect unisex scent, too.

I didn't wear any scent for years.

Happy to have taken a chance on Paraphrase and the Discovery Sets, I'm absolutely hooked on Grasslands!

I have the travel size, both bottles, and the roll on. I don't want to be without this.

I also appreciate the name change Josh made when he realized the significance of Sweetgrass to Indigenous communities.

Love grasslands so much. As a canadian indigenous girly how could I pass up on a fragrance that is basically the exact scent of sweetgrass?! Its gorgeous, natural, feelgood… reminiscent of the smell of smudging with sweetgrass on a warm day. I envision myself wearing this on warmer spring days, and all through summer & early fall. Beautiful fragrance, and I love the colour of the juice and the wooden cap.

I love this scent! Dry cut grass and fresh herbs, warm sunshine in a field, dusty summer haze. Reminds me of my childhood - hours spent in the prairie meadows picking flowers and weaving crowns of grass.

This smells like rural emptiness and blissful solitude.. Photorealistic sweet dried hay baking in the sun, soft lavender, tobacco, spicy warm tonka bean... So sweetly intoxicating upon the initial spray. Has a sort of leather smelling, more masculine tinge to it at first. When it dries down I get mostly lavender and hot yellow hay being carried by like a gentle breeze.. Super evocative smell, very comforting and nostalgic.

Smells nice

I got the sample of this after it was recommended on Reddit. Great scent! Light and earthy. A little on the masculine side, which I prefer. Lasts pretty well.

I bought a discovery set, and was anxious to try grassland as I’m not usually a fresh scent kinda girl. It opens a little spicy, but throughout the day drys down and that hay note really pulls through and I’m obsessed with it. Definitely my new everyday scent.

After trying the best sellers sample pack, I ended up buying this scent in the full bottle version. I love it! It's rich, but not overpowering. Strong, but subtle. It's my everyday perfume and I want all of my clothes to have it's lingering scent.

One of the more unisex smells of the bunch. I keep thinking it would be incredible to use this scent in a spa or hotel lobby as a signature scent. It smells quite literally like dried down, sun-baked sweet hay, and leaves a tiny trace of a spice that almost smells like cinnamon to me. One of the longer lasting ones for me, as well. Quite telling that my mom loves it too, considering she generally loves more sweet, cloying feminine scents.

Absolutely gorgeous. Smells like sunshine in a gentle breeze, walking through sweetgrass in a field in southern Alberta.

I first bought grasslands as a sample some years ago, but I worried it was too powerful for me as a regular rotation scent… except when I ran out of it, I realized how much I had fallen in love. On the first spritz, it opens up strong, but it fades into something that, at least on me, feels like a skin scent, something only people close to you would be able to smell – it’s perfectly sultry! I find myself reaching for this mostly in the autumn and winter when I want to sort of have a woody-camp feel about me, but it can be nice on especially sweaty summer days if you are in the mood for something provocative.

One of my favorite sents. I can't get over how perfect it is for late summer early fall. It's like my favorite season in a bottle. To me it smells like hay, and a hint of apples and honey.

My favorite place is a crab apple grove surrounded by tall wild grass. This scent captures the fleeting sweet and spicy scent of that place on a breezy day.

Loved this perfume so much I got the full size bottle. It's evocative of a warm summer afternoon lying out in a meadow filled with wildflowers, weeds, bees and butterflies
