Ranger Station
Leave your trace.
Ranger Station was founded by Steve Soderholm in 2015, creating fragrances rooted in American wilderness, outdoor culture, and the specific sensory language of the natural environment. The brand draws its name and aesthetic from the forest service stations that mark the edges of wilderness territories—places where the built world ends and something older begins. Soderholm composes around natural materials: wood smoke, leather, green growth, mineral stone, and the particular quality of air in undeveloped places. The house rejects synthetic sweetness and amplified projection, pursuing honest, grounded profiles that reward close wearing rather than room-filling announcement. Ranger Station occupies a distinct position in American accessible fragrance—genuinely craft-oriented without the premium pricing that would exclude the outdoor enthusiast audience the brand serves. Releases like Cascade and Piedmont have developed loyal followings among collectors who value the outdoors as an aesthetic framework rather than a marketing trope. The house represents American landscape as a serious fragrance subject.

Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
