Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln guided the United States through its most profound internal crisis, leading the nation during the Civil War as it faced division, violence, and uncertainty about its future. Rising from humble beginnings, Lincoln brought a steady moral compass to the presidency, shaped by a belief in the principles of liberty and equality articulated at the nation’s founding.

As the war intensified, Lincoln confronted the institution of slavery directly. The Emancipation Proclamation reframed the conflict as a struggle not only to preserve the Union, but to redefine it. His leadership demanded endurance and sacrifice, and his words—measured, direct, and enduring—helped give meaning to a war marked by loss.

The Cherrywood scent reflects the gravity of Lincoln’s era—warm, restrained, and dignified. Notes of cherrywood and smoked cedar evoke candlelit rooms, worn desks, and the quiet weight of decisions that shaped the nation’s future. It is a contemplative fragrance, intended to honor leadership grounded in humility, resolve, and lasting principle.
