Sierra Nevada Cologne Oil
Spruce | Cedar | Hay
Just below the tree line, the sun warms the western faces of the Jeffrey pine. Marmot scamper over the rock. Wind rustles the treetops below and it swirls up the trail with notes of conifer, lifting over the sawtooth ridge. A snow patch strewn with sun cups smothers the granite pass. Beyond it, a narrow saddle opens to a warm meadow between the peaks.
Sierra Nevada smells like a cold conifer forest near the tree line: black spruce and fir needle over Virginian and Himalayan cedar, settling into warm fir balsam, cistus, and cut hay. It's a crisp, green, resinous cologne — alpine and woody — that wears close to the skin.

The Accord
Sierra Nevada opens cold and green — black spruce and fir needle dominating the scent of high elevation. Virginian and Himalayan cedars build the woody structure beneath. Fir balsam, cistus absolute, and hay are warm and resinous at the close.

Frequently Asked Questions
Expect about 2–4 hours. The scents of our colognes are built primarily from essential oils — the source of their botanical depth and breadth — and natural botanicals are less tenacious than the synthetics that push some fragrances to all-day wear. The oil base also holds the scent close to the skin rather than projecting it outward. Reapply to pulse points anytime you'd like to refresh it.
Roll a single pass onto pulse points, meaning wrists, the base of the throat, behind the ears. This is where circulation warms the skin and releases the scent gradually. Use less than you expect because oil concentrates build quickly, so start light and add more to achieve desired intensity.
Every material is dosed within IFRA guidelines for leave-on products. Essential oils are potent botanicals and sensitivity varies, so patch test on your inner arm before first use if you react to any listed ingredient.
Neither is better, they serve different purposes. Oil opens gently, skips the alcohol bite, and stays close to the skin, so what you smell on application is what you wear. Alcohol projects further and fills a room; oil is a personal, more intimate way to wear a scent.
Fragrance is personal. If your first Craftsman Soap cologne isn't the right fit, email us at hello@craftsmansoap.com within 30 days and we'll help you find a better one. That may mean a recommendation, store credit toward another scent, or simply an honest conversation about what you're looking for. We'd rather help you find the right fragrance than lose a customer over the wrong one.

Cologne Oil, Back Country Forest
Smells Good - thank you
Smells great and packaged nicely
Great stuff!! Thanks so much!! 👍
It’s a good products. Smells pretty good but not quite what I expected. It’s very small but it looks like it’ll last a while since it’s a roll on. The smell reminds me of pine leaves mostly. I like it, I’m not sure how much it will project or how long it will last but it seems good and it was a good price so I figured I’d try it. Depending on how it goes, I’ll probably try other scents as well! Overall I’m happy I got it
Taking into consideration that everybody's body chemistry is different and what may smell good on some, may not on others. I found this cologne/ oil to be very, very weak in scent. What was there lasted literally no longer then 15 minutes if that. Sure I have the chance to return it, but not worth the hassle.
Item was great and smells good but doesn't last very long. I would use it more as a weekend freshener.
Love this!
Love this smell and will love it even more on hubby after V-day <3
Good quality, fast shipping. Very happy customer
Smells great! My husband loves it.
Great gift! Very quick shipping too.
Great product, fast shipping!! 5 stars!
Great product. It smells great without being overpowering like a traditional cologne. Subtle and very pleasant.
Lot smaller than expected and the scent didn’t last long. I ended up adding more essential oils to make it a little stronger
Bought this for my husband and he absolutely loves it!
Wonderful product, arrived on time and smells really nice! The different notes kind of come out at different times. When I first put it on it definitely had more pine and spruce but later in the day I could smell the citrus and lavender that’s in it. It’s pretty strong, and I like it that way. Gives off a slightly more masculine feel, but would be perfect for anyone that likes that rustic fresh summer forest vibe.
Love the balsam and pine scent.
love it! my fiancé smells great
I purchased the woodsy scent for my brother as a gift and it smells very good! I like that it’s essential oils and not too strong or overpowering. Will purchase again for my hubby next, thank you!
I bought this cologne for my husband for Christmas and he loves it!! It smells just like the forest :)
Smells nice
I review fragrances on a blog, so I will try to give a more in-depth response to this so that others can get a different take on it.
When you first apply this you get hit with some sweet pine, earthy spruce, and aromatic basil which will instantly remind you of Christmas. The vibrant lemon brightens up the composition, but it's not very apparent in the blend.
Some wild herbal lavender joins the fray. This is not your powdery barbershop-style lavender. This is not the sweet and synthetic lavender you will find in a mainstream candle either. This is an herbal lavender. Well, lavender is technically an herb since it's a part of the mint family anyway...But it certainly adds that calming vibe that lavender is known for.
It does remind you of walking through the woods. I had more to say, but Etsy won't let me. Great price.
I ordered because of all the positive reviews! The cologne is a little strong at first but it mellows out more the longer you wear it. I'm excited to try the other scents too!
Wish there was a bigger size option
Can’t wait for my husband to get it for Christmas . Smells amazing .
THIS SMELLS AMAZING! Bought for my fiancé and can’t wait for him to wear it. I’ll be sniffing him quite often. Highly recommend if you like pine/woodsy scents!
Little on the expensive side but great smell and quality
