Clear. Bright. Awake.
When your brain feels foggy, your to-do list is still long, and you just need a minute to breathe — this is your 60-second reset.
The Reset collection carries the bright, clean energy of the Adirondack outdoors — mandarin, basil, clementine, lavender, orange blossom — scents designed to cut through the noise and wake up your mind without winding you up. Like the burst of sunrise from the top of a mountain, or the first breath of alpine air on a morning hike.
Whether you reach for the joyful energy of Mount Marcy or the crisp mountain freshness of Balsam & Clementine, these fragrances share the same purpose: to clear the fog, lift your mood, and help you feel like yourself again.
The Science of Scent
Why These Scents Wake You Up
Citrus essential oils like mandarin and clementine have been shown to increase alertness and elevate mood. Basil and lavender help regulate the nervous system — brightening your mind without triggering the stress response. The result is calm focus: awake, clear, and steady. The Reset collection was designed to bring that mountaintop clarity indoors.
Your Reset Moment
When to Reach for Reset
First thing in the morning when you need to shake off the fog. Mid-afternoon when your energy dips and your focus drifts. Before a big meeting, a hard conversation, or anything that asks you to show up sharp. These are the scents for the moments when you need to come back online — clear-headed, present, and ready.
From Marcy
The Story Behind This Collection
Mount Marcy is the tallest mountain in the Adirondacks, and that means it gives you the best reward — a sense of accomplishment and an awesome view. My favorite memory is waking up early one morning and watching the sunrise from the top. The burst of the sun, the joy of the journey, and enjoying the moment — that is what I hope people get from this scent.
Balsam & Clementine was our very first fragrance. As a kid, I was in charge of snacks for our family hikes. My favorite was clementines. They were heavy, but so worth it. There is nothing better than sitting on top of a wind-swept mountain, the fresh alpine breeze in your face, and a juicy clementine snack. This scent is that fresh, soothing experience.
Every scent in the Reset family started with a moment outdoors in the Adirondacks — a sunrise, a summit, a deep breath of mountain air. I built this collection to bottle that feeling so you can reach for it whenever you need it.
How to Use the Reset Collection
Start with whichever scent calls to you. Mount Marcy is pure joy and energy — like a sunrise that wakes up your whole body. The scent notes of mandarin, basil, rose, orange blossom, and sandalwood balance emotions and boost mood.
Balsam & Clementine is crisp mountain freshness — our very first fragrance, with clementine, lemon, lavender, and balsam. It relieves anxiety, elevates mood, and promotes restful sleep.
Use the room spray for an instant reset at your desk. Light the candle during your morning routine. Keep the lotion at your bedside or in your bag for a reset on the go. The more consistently you pair a scent with a moment, the faster your body learns the cue — and the reset comes sooner each time.
