About Atwood
Our Story
We began with a question: what does it mean to belong to a place?
Provincetown has always been a refuge. Artists, dreamers, lovers, drawn to the edge of the sea, to land's end, to the particular light here. We wanted to capture something of that feeling. The way a place can hold you.
Our first collection is drawn from moments etched into the landscape. Resinous pine trails through Beech Forest. Golden afternoons at Boy Beach, salt on skin. The sweet pull of evenings on walking down Commercial Street.
These are not just scents. They are thresholds. Invitations to return, or to discover for the first time, what it feels like to arrive somewhere and recognize it as home.
The Perfumer
Luke Anapolis is a self-taught perfumer. His work began not in a lab, but walking through the pine groves of the Cape Cod National Seashore.
He fell in love with the smell of the Pitch Pine in Beech Forest, and when he couldn't find a fragrance that captured it, he set out to create one himself. What started as curiosity became obsession. A year spent studying perfumery, blending accords, chasing the particular scent of Beech Forest in late August light.
Splitting his time between Brooklyn and Provincetown, Luke approaches perfumery with a designer’s precision and a storyteller’s heart. He believes fragrance can hold what photographs cannot. That scent preserves memory, longing, and the quiet shape of belonging.
Atwood is his love letter to Provincetown: an attempt to bottle not just a place, but a feeling, the sense of arriving at land’s end and knowing, somehow, you’ve come home.
