Rogue Evergreens We are a craft distiller of essential oils made from wild-harvested evergreens.

Every product we make is rooted in real places, real trees, and real process—from hand-harvesting boughs to steam distillation at our workshop in Ashland, OR.

The Pacific yew completely revolutionized cancer treatment in the 1960s. Its bark contains Taxol, a powerful compound that prevents cancer cells from replicating.

Early on, harvesting it was highly destructive. It required the bark of a whole tree to yield just one dose, and removing that bark is fatal to the yew. Today, the medical industry creates the drug in a lab without needing to strip wild trees.

This species highlights the incredibly complex chemistry at work out in the woods. It is a perfect example of why the tallest trees in the canopy do not always hold the most value.

Employee #1 at Rogue Evergreens, even if he steals my boots.

Beau (aka Mr. Bubba) has come a LONG way in the 4 years he's been in my life, and I smile like an absolute idiot every time he decides to give playing another go. Goodest boy around.

Did you know there is a pine tree that naturally smells like butterscotch and freshly-baked cookies?

If you catch the scent of Ponderosa Pine bark on a warm day, that underlying sweetness is unmistakable.

To capture the true essence of this incredible tree, we distill its needles & lower limbs. The resulting essential oil is beautifully complex and nothing like your typical, sharp pine scent. Instead, it offers a warm, earthy, and almost floral profile that perfectly highlights those unique, sweet undertones the Ponderosa is famous for.

The Klamath-Siskiyou bioregion is incredibly special.

As a forester, one of the things I love most about working out here is the sheer number of conifer species you'll come across. It’s actually one of the most diverse conifer forests in the world. You can literally stand in one spot and point out a dozen different species without even moving your feet.

That natural complexity is exactly what makes the woods around here smell so distinct, and it's a big part of why I do what I do.

What is your favorite conifer to spot when you're out hiking? Let me know below. 🌲

Yes, I started Rogue Evergreens out of spite. 😂🌲

As a forester who has spent most of my life working with trees, I was completely fed up with products that claimed to smell like pine, cedar, spruce, or fir, but smelled absolutely nothing like the real thing.

I know what the forest actually smells like. So, when I couldn't find a product that authentically captured it, I decided to make my own.

Now, almost exactly a year later, we’ve shipped nearly 2,000 orders to people who want the true scent of the Pacific Northwest in their homes. Thank you all for the incredible support!

Real pine scent doesn’t come from a chemistry lab.

During our distillation process, you can literally watch the pure Ponderosa Pine essential oil separate from the water. The oil holds the heavy, concentrated scent. But the water cycling below it? That’s the hydrosol.

While essential oils are potent, hydrosols are subtly scented. They capture all the water-soluble botanical compounds from the plant, making them naturally astringent and incredibly refreshing.

I use them every day as a facial toner, a soothing aftershave, and a body mist.

We just released a Discovery Pack featuring five distinct Pacific Northwest evergreen hydrosols. Tap below to find your favorite and bring the real forest into your daily routine. 🌲

Have you ever heard of a forest hydrosol? It’s the pure, aromatic water produced during our essential oil distillation, capturing the water-soluble compounds of the plant.

I use it daily as a refreshing facial toner, aftershave, and body mist.

Wait, a fir tree that smells like citrus? 🍊🌲

​It sounds crazy, but Grand Fir needles share the exact same scent compound (limonene) as oranges and grapefruits.

​We wild-harvest boughs (branch tips) from this incredible species to create products that smells absolutely nothing like those fake “pine” scents you’re used to. It’s a PNW forest in a bottle with a refreshing citrus twist.

​Curious? Try it in a room spray, body oil, roller, or pure essential oil!

Forest Hydrosols are Here! 🌲

A gentle, pH-balanced forest water for your skin. Five species, steam-distilled from wild-harvested conifer boughs in the mountains of southern Oregon.

Use as a facial toner, an aftershave, or keep them in the fridge for a cooling spritz on hot summer days. No essential oils added. Just the forest water itself, carrying the water-soluble botanical compounds that have been used as gentle skin tonics for centuries. Lightweight, refreshing, and made to be worn.

The scent is subtle and unique to each species. Scent is much lighter and very different from our essential oils and room sprays (many aromatic compounds remain in the oil fraction), fading naturally within a few minutes and leaving you with clean, hydrated skin.

Five species, each with its own character:
Douglas-fir — bright, green, faintly lemony
Grand Fir — deep, green, fresh (much less citrusy than the EO)
Incense Cedar — warm, nutty, spiced
Ponderosa Pine — butterscotch, black pepper, rich
Noble Fir — herbal, grassy, green tea

Single species. Single origin. Available now in 1oz, 4oz, and a discovery set of all five.

Big news 🌲. We're launching our first forest hydrosols next week!

If you're not familiar, a hydrosol is the aromatic water produced during steam distillation. When we distill evergreen boughs for essential oil, the steam condenses back into two layers: essential oil on top, and hydrosol below. Same boughs, same still, same forest. Just a different form.

The scent is subtle, much softer than our essential oils. But what makes hydrosols special is what's in the water itself. They're packed with water-soluble botanical compounds from the plant material, and they've been used as gentle skin tonics for centuries. No synthetic fragrance. No filler. Just steam, wild Oregon conifers, and a gentle preservative to keep it shelf-stable and safe for your skin.

Use it as a facial toner, an aftershave, or hair tonic. Five species launching soon: Douglas-fir, Grand Fir, Noble Fir, Ponderosa Pine, and Incense Cedar.

Stay tuned and follow for more! We'll take you along from bough to bottle.

At 5,000 feet in February, this should be buried under several feet of snow. Right now, there's barely a couple inches.

Snowpack is how these forests survive the summer. It feeds the rivers, fills our reservoirs, and slowly releases water into high elevation soils long after the rain stops. When it's this low heading into spring, everything downstream feels it.

As a forester and someone who spends real time in these mountains, these are the things you notice. The health of these forests affects everything we do.

Douglas-fir essential oil, straight from the still!

Behind the scenes, steam passes through fresh Douglas-fir boughs, pulls the aromatic compounds from the needles, then carries them into the condenser, where it cools back into a liquid.

Then comes the best part: the pure Douglas-fir essential oil separates out and floats to the top of the distillate.

We use this oil to scent our Douglas-fir lineup, nothing synthetic, just steam and trees. 🌲
