Aw… a freshly mown field… the other night I had the chance to wander my favorite field in Crow Valley here on Orcas Island and capture the sights and scents of Foin Coupé {aka cut hay}. Come on a walk with me and I’ll share with you my favorite products that will help you bring that fresh scent to your abode with ease.

What is it about the beauty of a freshly cut field filled with tidy bundles of hay that has captured the attention of artists and amateurs across the world for centuries?

And is there a smell that says summer more than fresh cut grass or hay? Here’s the good news, you can experience that scent even if you don’t have a pasture to wander in or a lawn to mow.

Foin Coupé, a candle by Dyptique is described as “The scent of stalks dried in the summer sun, mingled with wild herbs and flowers’ honeyed pollen… The aromas of the countryside, at once flowery and herbaceous.”

In the summer I can’t live without the dewy green grassy notes of the Lush Palm candles from Antica Farmacista and am intrigued by their other Lush Palm ambiance products they bring to your home and body an “intriguing, lush green floral fragrance. Reflective of the exquisite natural beauty that exists just beyond the sea”. Did you know that these rounds of hay contain the equivalent of 20 of the rectangular bales? Thanks for wandering the land with me… hoping you are enjoying some lovely sights and scents in these waning summer days….
