Retired Fragrances

All of our fragrances hold a special place in our hearts! Our retired fragrances are no different. Keep an eye out for special occasions where they may break out of retirement and find an opportunity to make it to your home!

Aurora
This mesmerizing, empowering, and confident fragrance, was created to capture our perfumer's thoughts as she would walk the autumn countryside of Aurora County, South Dakota. The fragrance depicts the spicy and pepperiness of the huge cottonwood trees, prairie grasses and color turning leaves. Their warm orange and golden hues of a country fall.
 
Bijou Hills for Her
As a little girl, our perfumer could always see to the west of her families farm, the Bijou Hills of South Dakota. Asking her parents on several occasions, “What were the Bijou Hills like?” With the same response every time, “Its a far away place.” With our perfumers mind running wild, she imagined it being like a desert oasis... like pictures she had seen in National Geographic Magazine. Elephants, tigers, monkeys, spices, tropical fruits, coffee, tea, beautiful plants flowers and the smell of tropical flowers.

Bourboned Tobacco
Falling in love with the richness of cedar wood, tobacco and roses, our perfumer designed this sumptuous fragrance. Great for both men &women.
 
In the Garden
There is nothing like the freshness of a vegetable garden. Bright colors everywhere, brushing past the tomato plants... such a green ethereal scent. 

 

Kismet
Our perfumer set out to create a romantic scent for a young woman that is stylish and smart. It is about living a fancy free life, while being in the right place and the right time. It is Kismet!

  

Muse
This luxurious and sophisticated feminine fragrance is truly a classic for Prairie Artisan Fragrances. Created in 2011, this fragrance is a modern oriental fragrance designed for the more discerning fragrance wearer.
 
Noble
Masculine and rugged, this fragrance was created for a close friend of the perfumer.
 
NYB
Our cult favorite, this fragrance embodies the smell of New York City's Madison Avenue. Our perfumer's mother, Barb, used to work in Midtown Manhattan on Madison Avenue, so the fragrance was created with the smells of the small shops her mother would pass by on her way to work. Passing coffee shops, chocolate shops, perfumeries, fine clothing boutiques... If you smell real close, you may even get a whiff of the steel used to build this architectural haven.
 
Sendero
This was Prairie Artisan Fragrance's first commissioned work. Our perfumer took approximately 18 months to perfect Sendero into the unisex fragrance that smells like fresh cut alfalfa, sweet clover and other wild prairie grasses. This smell wafts on the rolling hills of South Dakota during the mid to late months of the summer.
 
Siding 36
White Lake, the perfumer's hometown, first known as Siding 36, was the 36th train stop from east to west in South Dakota. Not only does this area have serene prairie, but has a lake north of town, from which White Lake, the town, was named.
 
Winter Garland
Like a walk through an enchanted forest, a sophisticated composition of flower gardens and majestic trees.
