I've lived in Alaska for nearly 20 years now, and have been here for 20 springs.



Let me tell you all a little secret- you don't want your home to smell like Alaskan springtime.



Alaskan springtime is the "fresh" scent that proves a lot of dog owners don't pick up after their dog on walks during the winter. It's the scent of geese and ducks making messes on stagnant water from thaws, it's the scent of decay as all that dead grass gets soaked from thawing and sits under the sun. Springtime in Alaska smells like something that rhymes with grass but really isn't. It smells like moose, bear, duck, goose and dog rhymes with grass. It's a smell that makes you check the bottom of your shoes just to make sure you didn't step in something.



Fortunately, and the reason this does get 3 stars, it doesn't actually smell anything like Alaskan Springtime. It can help cover the scent of a real Alaskan springtime with their poetic interpretation which seems based on not ever having been in Alaska in spring. This is a simple fragrance that's not overtly floral, and one that will work well in office settings or in the homes of people who would rather not have floral or bakery scented air fresheners.
