Collection: Dryland Wilds

Dryland Wilds makes desert perfume from dryland plants in New Mexico. Using distillation, enfleurage, maceration, and tincturing they pull fragrance from the plants they harvest.

Cebastien + Robin of Dryland Wilds practice and teach sustainable wildcrafting in the high desert, prioritizing invasive and common plants for their fragrance harvests.  All native plant material that goes into their products is salvaged from sites that are removing them for construction, road maintenance, land management and fire pruning.  It's less than romantic but most of Dryland Wilds' harvests involve following DOT (dirt) road graders, or being invited to come in and cut before the bulldozers show up.  They also work with private landowners, traveling to remote ranches and setting up perfume camp where they remove invasive flowers and enfleurage them. This helps bring ecosystems back into balance by reducing invasive seed set and protecting the watershed from glyphosates. They teach seasonal classes on sustainable wildcrafting - free to Indigenous, Black and QTBIPOC students upon request. For other students with financial support needs, sliding scale and trades for classes are available upon request.

Dryland Wilds support social/environmental justice, donating 15% of their limited edition perfume sales each year to anti-racist southwestern organizations fighting for equality, liberation and justice for all.
