October Air — Field No. 093 • Seasonal Dusting Powder

Field No. 093 — October Air
Botanical icon: Oak Leaf · Collection: Seasonal Woods & Weather
Folded with care. Scented by season. Rooted in the Stillroom Tradition

The shift of October is felt first in the fields. Farmer’s markets bustle with the last of the harvest—pumpkins stacked, baskets of apples, cider presses turning. Warmth lingers by day while nights draw cool, woodsmoke curling through the air. October Air gathers that moment—earthy and spiced with patchouli, lifted by orange brightness, and warmed by clove—into a talc-free stillroom powder made to comfort skin and spirit as the season deepens.

Small-batch and made to order in our summer-kitchen apothecary. Finely milled for a silky finish; fragranced with a gentle, close-to-you scent.

Care & storage

Keep cool and dry. As with any fragrance, patch test if sensitive. Store cards and envelope away from direct sunlight—archival inks last longest when loved gently.
