As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, Upstate Hibernate invites you to slow down and settle into the quiet comforts of the season. Inspired by weekends spent in secluded cabins across Upstate New York, this fragrance captures the feeling of retreating indoors while winter lingers just beyond the windows. Warm wood interiors, worn leather furniture, and the unmistakable aroma of herbs drifting from the kitchen create a space that feels calm, grounded, and deeply restorative.
Creamy sandalwood forms the heart of the fragrance, bringing a smooth, velvety warmth that feels both familiar and refined. Rich leather adds depth without overwhelming the composition, evoking the character of a well-loved reading chair or heirloom travel bag. Fresh rosemary introduces an aromatic lift that recalls herbs crisping beside a wood-fired meal, while cooling wintergreen moves quietly through the blend like fresh air carried in from the surrounding forest. Together, the notes balance warmth with freshness, creating a fragrance that feels inviting rather than heavy.
Designed for those who gravitate toward modern woody scents with an aromatic edge, Upstate Hibernate feels equally at home in contemporary interiors and rustic retreats. Whether enjoyed as a luxury candle, reed diffuser, or niche fragrance, it creates an atmosphere of quiet sophistication without overpowering a room.
Hand-poured in America using a premium soy and coconut wax blend, our candles are vegan, phthalate-free, and crafted with perfume-grade fragrance oils for a clean-burning experience. Paired with our reed diffuser or niche perfume, Upstate Hibernate offers an understated expression of luxury home fragrance that carries effortlessly from autumn through the heart of winter.
Originally selected by Condé Nast Traveler as one of its "Best Holiday Gifts," Upstate Hibernate has become a seasonal favorite for those who appreciate comforting, wood-forward fragrances with a contemporary point of view.

About The Brand: Beginning as pipe dream to quit their corporate jobs quickly became a reality when married New York City couple and Poured founders, Dennis Green and Ricky Tiscareno, purchased their first home in Upstate New York. They wanted to develop a signature fragrance to commemorate this milestone, but could not find the right profiles on the market to tell the olfactive stories they sought to share. Our products are designed in upcyclable vessels that mirror scent profiles and provide multi-sensory experiences with color casting glassware and vibrant packaging. We firmly believe in the power fragrance can hold over a space and view it as transformative element of decor, and are proud to make our products in New York. Our products are non-toxic, eco-friendly, and hand-poured in Hudson, New York. We're proudly made in the USA.
