Here's what most people don't know: scent is the only sense with a direct neural pathway to the part of your brain that governs stress and emotion. This isn't poetry. It's physiology.
Pure Placid was built around that truth. Every scent we make is designed to shift how you feel — to make calm something you can reach for, reliably, whenever you need it.
That's what it means to claim your calm.

Let customers speak for us
My wife and I both use the Alpine Spice lotion. We tried many different scents when we were at your store in Lake Placid, and the Alpine Spice scent stood out as our favorite!
Love the smell. Wish it came in a perfume!
My kid(10) and I both made candles in store. The set up was very cute and the instructions were clear and easy to follow. We couldn't decide on just one favorite scent and ended up buying more things. The staff was very helpful for both visits.
Absolutely love this product. Smells great and cleans great. Highly recommend.
Great shape of glass candle and color red is bright.
Balsam Clementine is the perfect scent and texture!
I like the new Cozy Flannel scent. It is soft and calming. I applaud the donation to the Heart Association, they do good work. I also like the slight curve in the bottom of the candle jar. The color is my favorite and really “ light up” the room.
We absolutely love this candle! They last so long, and this scent is amazing.
"...This scent captures the perfect balance of wilderness and refinement" indeed. You created it Marcy... thank you!! The scent I'd been searching for and finally discovered here at Pure Placid. 'Alpine Spice,' it isn't only a scent, but an experience to be enjoyed over and over again with each breath. A humble request — if you create a closely worn, true to profile perfume — please enter my name as beta tester number one. My hand is raised and I'm all in. Alpine Spice is my personal go-to scent; today the lotion, hoping for a skin scent soon.
Loved all the contents ...you did not know what would come in the Mystery Box..I loved every item .
I bought these soaps as Christmas gifts. And the recipients loved them, especially the fragrance. ☺️
This candle has such a gorgeous scent! I love the citrus smell. So fresh and clean.
