If You Love Unique Scents, This Nashville-Based Brand Needs to Be on Your Radar

It’s no secret that I’m a creature of habit when it comes to selecting fragrances for everyday wear. I’ve found security in the notes I know complement me best (fresh florals, vibrant citrus, and the occasional sparkling champagne), but the more “untraditional” a fragrance is, the more I worry it won’t be one I can wear confidently. That was until I discovered fragrances by Ranger Station. In 2015, in a refurbished ranger station in Nashville, Tennessee, touring musician Steve Soderholm crafted a soy-based candle in a reusable eight-ounce cocktail glass.

From there, the fragrance house bloomed to include unisex perfumes, room spray, and bodycare with bold, long-lasting, and ingredient-honest formulas. Claiming the identifier of “scents for the pioneering spirit,” Ranger Station offers products inspired by the great outdoors and the memories created while experiencing it. The fragrances, in particular, are available at an affordable price point (starting at $94) and have double the fragrance saturation and a bold scent profile; resulting in inoffensive scents that last all day. To identify my true perfume pairing, I decided to take the fragrance quiz provided online. Questions ranged from how I would describe my personality and my favorite binge-worthy television shows to my go-to drink order and favorite scent types.

The result? A selection of four fragrances I’m absolutely obsessed with. If you too are ready to saddle up and explore the world of Ranger Station fragrances, keep scrolling to discover the 15 perfumes and candles I’ll be adding to my collection to embrace my inner cowgirl. I may have yet to wear a wide-brimmed hat and leather boots, but I’ll be wearing these American heritage–inspired fragrances nonstop.
