The Art of Escape: Stay, Unplug and Explore

  1. Yosemite National Park, CA

Resonance Perfumery is nestled just beyond the gates of Yosemite National Park, where the raw beauty of the Sierra Nevada shapes everything we create. The shifting light, rushing waters, and ancient rhythms of this land inspire our botanical alchemy, infusing each perfume with nature’s essence.

For those seeking deeper connection, the Oakstone, Moonstone, and Heartstone offer more than a place to stay—they are sanctuaries for renewal, located just outside the park, only minutes from Yosemite Valley. Set within the Merced River Canyon and the rolling Sierra foothills, these retreats invite you to wake to the hush of live oaks, breathe in the scent of sun-warmed earth, and move in harmony with the land’s steady rhythms.

Here, nature attunes your senses. Each moment is an invitation—to linger, to listen, to simply be. And as you carry this experience home, let scent be your guide. Guests receive an exclusive 10% discount on all Resonance Perfumery botanical creations—a gift of memory, renewal, and the essence of place.
