Wearing At The Sawmill on a Sunday afternoon
It is Sunday afternoon. Your sleeves have been rolled up since noon, and the shelf is two tiers tall.
Cedarwood meets you first. It is dry and clean, like sawdust still warm from the blade, with a quick sweet-tart flash of berries.
Halfway through, sawdust hangs in the slanting light from the door, and the scent turns smooth. Iso E Super, an aroma molecule, is velvety and faintly warm, and jasmine lays a soft layer over the wood, like the edge of a board just sanded fine. The wood calms down without turning sweet.
By the time you put the hammer down, what is left on your skin is sandalwood, smooth and warm, with tonka bean, a fragrant seed with a nutty smell. A clean musk sits close, like the cotton of a rolled-up sleeve. This part settles very slowly.
At The Sawmill is for people who like wood but not heavy wood. They probably also like driving in the last screw themselves.
When to wear At The Sawmill
A long drive
Cedarwood and sandalwood are dry and close, right for a closed car on a long drive.
Weekend coffee with a book
The berries and the jasmine keep the wood from feeling heavy.
A first bottle
For a friend who has never worn perfume. Smooth wood and a little musk, nothing loud.

On skin, At The Sawmill goes from dry and bright to smooth, then warm and very slow to settle.
Cedarwood is dry and clean, and opens with the berries.
Iso E Super is velvety and faintly warm. It works with jasmine to calm the wood without sweetening it.
Sandalwood is smooth, slightly creamy and warm, and settles slowly along with tonka bean and musk.
Two editions of At The Sawmill
At The Sawmill has two packaging designs. The scent and the price are the same.
Illustrated Edition
arriving soon
The new packaging. The box is iridescent and covered in graffiti-style NOTE lettering. The NOTE logo runs down the front in wood brown, and the scent's name sits on a brushstroke of the same brown.
Every size comes with a box and a carry bag. The 30 ml and 50 ml bottles add a PVC pouch and two "Style your bottle" sticker sheets drawn for At The Sawmill. The 10 ml does not include stickers or the PVC pouch.
The sheet comes in a single shade, wood. On it are a circular saw blade, curls of shavings and a hammer with NOTE carved into the handle. Step outside the sawmill and you meet a thatched stilt house, a bamboo t'rưng xylophone and a gong.
The packaging you get
In store or online, you get the packaging that is in stock when you buy. To check which edition is in stock right now, message NOTE before you order.
It started inside a wood workshop
At The Sawmill started with a memory of the inside of a wood workshop.
Raw planks are stacked against the wall, and the freshly cut grain gives off something green and resinous. It is a smell that stays with you long after you have left the room. That memory is the inspiration, and NOTE brings that workshop to mind through the notes of the scent. The scent is designed by NOTE in Saigon and made in Vietnam.
Try At The Sawmill on your skin
Iso E Super, woods and musk sit differently on each person's skin, so At The Sawmill on your wrist will not smell quite like it does on anyone else's. To find out, you have to spray it. NOTE has three stores in Ho Chi Minh City, and stock changes from day to day. Message NOTE first to find out which one has a tester.
