Toscana
2023

Tuscan Hillside, Late Autumn

Castellina in Chianti, Italy — harvested November 2023

NY Subway
Aug '24

New York City Subway, 34th St Platform

Manhattan, New York — harvested August 2024, 5:47 PM (rush hour)

Chernobyl
2019

Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, Reactor 4 Viewing Point

Pripyat, Ukraine — harvested June 2019 under clear skies

Our most controversial blend. Notes of pine, rust, and a faint metallic tang that connoisseurs describe as “post-industrial terroir.” Each jar tested and certified below 0.5 µSv/h. Comes in a lead-lined presentation box.

ICU
2020

COVID ICU, ECMO Wing

Wuhan, China — harvested February 2020, pre-lockdown

Limited edition. A rare and somber vintage capturing the air inside a working intensive care unit during the early days. Notes of sanitizer, mechanical ventilation, and quiet urgency. 100% of proceeds go to healthcare worker mental health funds. Only 47 jars produced.

Library
Est. 1848

Reading Room, Bodleian Library

Oxford, England — harvested March 2025, 6 AM (before opening)

Burning
Man '23

Burning Man, Deep Playa, Sunrise

Black Rock Desert, Nevada — harvested September 2023, 5:32 AM

Crisp, alkaline desert air with the faintest whisper of distant electronic music and burning plywood. Includes certified dust particle count. One customer wrote: “I wasn't there and now I don't have to go.”

Moon
1969

Lunar Module, Sea of Tranquility

The Moon — harvested July 20, 1969 (reproduction)

A blend of nitrogen, oxygen, and trace vacuum. While we cannot of course capture lunar atmosphere (there is none), this jar contains a precisely formulated mixture matching the composition of the Apollo 11 cabin at the moment Armstrong said the line. Pressurized to 5 PSI for historical accuracy.

Whale
2024

Blowhole Exhalation, Humpback Whale

Silver Bank, Dominican Republic — harvested February 2024, from a specimen we call “Gerald”

The air inside a whale's lungs, captured at the moment of exhalation. Briny, warm, with notes of krill digestion and ancient mammal instinct. Ethically collected under permit. Warning: may contain trace cetacean microbiota.
