The scents, which range from citrusy and fruity to floral to green to woodsy, take their names from some of the region’s locales renowned for their beauty: Cowichan Rose, Saltspring, Saturna and Island Wildflower. Not sure which would appeal? The brand offers a Discovery Set to help buyers decide which one they prefer.$45-$138 | Available here
