Crowsnest Pass has a strong and sweet citrus opening of Sicilian lemon and Calabrian bergamot that’s given some interest with just enough bay leaf spice. This sweetness is tempered with a good dose of tobacco that’s blended with hints leather, musk and Virginian cedar. Like our “Old Strathcona” scent, the scent is supported by a magnificent blend of oak, cedar and pine moss absolutes.
You had me at Old Strathcona, tobacco, and moss. To manage expectations, though, is Crowsnest Pass really more of a citrus aromatic (or even bay rum) rather than a dark, mossy, spicy, woody tobacco? (Old Tobaccona would likely blow my skirt up.)
It's closer to bay rum, but a bay rum fan would murder me for saying so. It's very citrusy thanks to the bergamot but also spicy from the bay leaf. There's a touch of leather in there as well and then sweetened with tobacco. For what it's worth, it's probably my most popular scent with women, despite the masculine sounding scent notes. It's a crowd pleaser for sure!
