SPRING Eau de Parfum is everything you expect it to be: fresh, floral, a walk in the breeze.


Starting life as a hydrosol blend, the fragrance was inspired by the regenerated landscape of Spring Bay Mill, the former woodchip processing factory on Freestone Point, Triabunna, Tasmania.

The large coastal site overlooking Maria Island was once an Aboriginal gathering place for Palawa people, but despite that, the world’s largest woodchip mill was sited here from the 1970s until its closure in 2011 when environmentalist Graeme Wood purchased the mill to restore the landscape’s ecology.  Tasmanian landscape designer and horticulturalist Marcus Ragus helped reimagine the landscaped grounds of the events venue, leading remediation and restoration of its contaminated ecosystem.

Undersong founder Hilary Burden toured the site with Marcus and was eventually inspired by an avenue of ancient flowering blackwood and the eucalypts that were once fed through the mill. Blending steam distillations of acacia, blue gumnuts and blue gum blossom, Hilary first created SPRING in 2022 as an aromatic mist.

On the Spring Equinox, September 2024, SPRING is released as an Eau de Parfum, amplified with essential oils to add impact and longevity.
