Fragrance house: Hetkinen
Turku, Finland
Based in Turku, Finland, Hetkinen was founded in 2018 by designer and former sales manager, Mona Isotupa. Hetkinen’s mission is to bring people closer to nature in their busy everyday lives via high-quality product innovations. All of Hetkinen’s products are gender-neutral, vegan, and manufactured in Finland at the company’s own factory.
Hetkinen uses Finnish pine heartwood for their jars and containers. It takes a pine tree 40 years to begin to produce heartwood, so it is used sparingly & respectfully, and as such, knots or stains in the wood are not discarded. Pine heartwood is used for it’s superior resistance to rot, antibacterial properties, and because it doesn’t absorb moisture.

Together, these notes form a fragrance that feels effortless and luminous, a blend of joy and focus — a gentle reminder that creativity begins with presence.

Forest Riot is an ode to the raw, living power of Finnish nature. The scent opens with fresh pine — sharp and green, like the first breath beneath towering conifers. Silver fir forms the heart, adding a woody depth that feels both crisp and steady, while black spruce anchors the base with cool, invigorating calm. Together, they create a fragrance that feels alive: vibrant yet grounding, simple yet layered. It’s the scent of freedom, of balance, of standing still while the wind moves through the trees. Forest Riot invites its wearer to reconnect with the earth, to feel both its serenity and its strength — a scent as genuine as the forest itself.

The scent opens with bergamot and black pepper, creating a bright, assertive freshness that signals focus and control.

Magda is the meeting point of brightness and warmth — a scent that feels both effortless and deeply personal.

At its heart, ambrette lends a refined natural musk, adding softness and quiet sensuality. Moss and almond ground the base with gentle warmth, wrapping the fragrance in calm sophistication.

Chaos is the scent of the unexpected — a composition that mirrors the heartbeat of the city.

Patchouli builds the heart with earthy depth and quiet confidence, while sandalwood smooths the edges with its warm, refined calm. Together, they create a fragrance that feels alive: a balance of movement and stillness, clarity and complexity.

Natural Scents Scents go into emotions and are stored better in memory than other senses. So, it’s not irrelevant what kind of message you pass on about yourself to others. The two natural fragrances from Hetkinen are inspired by the clean forests and trees of the north. We use needles, leaves, bark, roots, and resin from the trees in various ways in the fragrance formula. Both fragrances have our famous pine oil, which is used in other Hetkinen products as well. The fragrance consists of 100%
