Spicy. Mineral. Fresh.
Collection: Top (fresh)A burst of fresh, living spice against cold, wet stone. Cardamom and ginger crushed straight from the root, then the mineral salt of moss rising up to and them.
Zingy ginger fuses with warm turmeric, cool cardamom plays against the depth of cinnamon, while an overdose of Ambroxan and mineral moss floods through like a wave, salty and stony. The spices give way to velvety, salt-tinged woods, a hint of caramelised tobacco and powdery musks settling low.
Fresh and mineral, with a warmth that keeps rising through the cool.
Key Notes: cardamom, ginger, turmeric, Ambroxan, mineral moss

Tonka, gilded.
Tonka as you've never worn it, amplified, magnified, dressed in gold.
The bean smoulders at the centre, roasted and rich, then amber stretches it wider and deeper, lit with sweet frankincense and ambery myrrh. Sesame, almond and green hazelnut melt around it, golden and gourmand, until the tonka is no longer a note but the whole room, glowing and impossible to ignore.
Key Notes: tonka bean, sesame, almond, green hazelnut, frankincense, myrrh
Composed from: The toasted gourmand of Tonka Sesame and the resinous depth of Amber Iris, blended into a third scent neither could be alone.

A back room after midnight.
Cigars, a glass of whiskey, absinthe on the table, worn leather under your hand.
Aromatic wormwood and absinthe fill the air with a green, heady bitterness, while cardamom and pink peppercorn throw off a glint of spice. Beneath it, cypriol, cedar and patchouli sink into earthy, smoky warmth, rich and sultry, leather and smoke settling in for the long night.
Key Notes: absinthe, cardamom, cypriol, cedar, patchouli
Composed from: The mineral spice of Cardamom Moss and the herbaceous leather of Cedarwood Absinth, blended into a third scent neither could be alone.

The shoreline, after the tide.
The ocean, remembered by the shore long after the tide has gone.
Dry grey sand and sun-bleached stone, the mineral tang of salt held in the air. A vibrant kick of pink peppercorn sparks like spray off a wave, and ambroxan carries the impression of ambergris, washed up and weathered smooth. As it dries, soft white musks and warm sandalwood sink into the skin, raw, sensual, quietly addictive.
Key Notes: pink peppercorn, ambroxan, ambergris accord, white musks, sandalwood
Composed from The spiced, mineral freshness of Cardamom Moss and the creamy, leathery depth of Sandalwood Musk, blended into a third scent neither could be alone.

Gourmand. Nutty. Woody.
Collection: Mid (mellow)Sesame toasting in a hot pan, nuts turning golden, the warm smell that makes your mouth water before you have tasted anything.
Toasted sesame sits rich at the centre, generously dosed, with green hazelnuts, almonds and tonka beans swirling around it. Heliotrope deepens the nuttiness with a whisper of rice, while earthy patchouli and cedarwood keep it grounded, toasty and golden so it never tips into dessert.
Good enough to eat, and far too refined to be a pudding.
Key Notes: sesame, tonka bean, green hazelnut, almond, cedarwood

Collection: Base (deep)Press your hand to sun-warmed stone. Creamy wood, soft leather, the dry heat still held in it.
Smooth Indian sandalwood, rich and generously dosed, is lit by a spark of pink peppercorn and threaded with smoky vetiver, soft leather and mineral Ambroxan. It melts into your skin and becomes part of it, reading differently on everyone, quietly magnetic, the kind of scent people lean in to place and never quite can.
Quietly addictive, the kind of scent you keep catching on yourself.

A pistachio summer.
Inhale the delicate rustle of leaves in a lush pistachio orchard, a tranquil summer morning, green and natural on the surface with a sweetness it keeps half-hidden.
Fig and pistachio leaves, basil and petitgrain echo the crunch of green grass beneath bare feet. Then the sweetness gives itself away, almonds, sesame, tonka beans and green hazelnuts warming in the sun, yearning to be picked, a creamy drift of summer ice cream rising through the leaves.

Carnal. Bold. Ambery.
Collection: Base (deep)Skin against skin in a warm, dark room. Resin, vanilla, a trace of the animal underneath. The kind of warmth you feel before you can name it.
A classic amber pushed to its fullest: vanilla, frankincense, myrrh and labdanum built into a deep, resinous heart. Ambrette seed and iris absolute lend an earthy softness, while animalic Ambroxan and patchouli give it a carnal edge, close and powerful, warming and deepening over hours rather than fading.
Bold, addictive, and built to last for days.

Nightfall, kept on the wrist.
The day's last warmth, held on your own skin as the dark comes in.

Bright. Citrusy. Shadowy.
Collection: Fresh
Peel a bergamot in a cool, dark room. The zest sprays bright and bittersweet, then catches the smell of incense smoke hanging in the air.
This is bergamot followed into the shadows. Its spicy, herbaceous, woody facets sparkle up top, generously dosed, before warm frankincense and iris absolute curl up from underneath and pull it East. It opens luminous and zesty, then slowly turns resinous and soft, the citrus glowing on against the smoke.
A fresh fragrance with a shadow in it, brighter for the dark underneath.
Key notes: bergamot, exotic spices, frankincense, iris absolute.

Petals, dipped in amber.
A room full of white flowers at dusk, warm amber smouldering somewhere beneath the bouquet.
Jasmine and osmanthus open radiant and full, a bouquet caught in golden light, before the powdery comfort of iris and the resinous warmth of amber rise to and them. The flowers soften, the amber deepens, and the two settle into a velvety, opulent balance, enveloping and refined, floral up close and ambery underneath.

Neroli and orange blossom absolute open overhead, radiant and soothing, while fig leaves, basil and petitgrain bring the crunch of green underfoot. Earthy vetiver and a soft warmth of iris and benzoin root it in the soil, crisp and verdant before it mellows into a calm, sunlit hush.

Colourful. Floral. Tangy.
Collection: Mid (mellow)Snap a stalk of rhubarb in half. That sharp green sourness, the kind that tightens your jaw.
Then the roses arrive. Not shy garden roses, but Moroccan Rose Absolute, so rich and jammy it almost drips, generously overdosed at the heart. Rhubarb and blackcurrant leaf cut through the sweetness, peony lends its dewy transparency, and the flower opens tart, juicy, almost wicked. It wears bright and a little unruly, softening on the skin, rounder and warmer.
A rose for people who thought roses weren't for them.
Key Notes: rhubarb, blackcurrant leaf, Moroccan rose absolute, peony
-
Dry heat, after the fire goes out.
Sun-warmed wood and dry spice, the kind of heat that holds no softness, only pepper and resin in still, warm air.
A deep ambery core glows at the heart, lit by black pepper, juniper berries and frankincense, the resin kept aromatic and bone-dry, never sweet. A thread of bergamot cuts bright across the top before the warmth draws it back down into the amber, hypnotic and close.

A rose in the frost.
A rose blooming in the cold, its petals stiffened with frost, pale winter sun and no heat in it.

A white room, morning light.
A white room full of morning light, windows open. A stick of incense burning unseen, its smoke thin and cool on the breeze before the sun reaches in.
Sparkling bergamot lifts the first breath, bright and zesty, threaded with incense that feels more like light than smoke, cool and airy. Powdery iris and a touch of ambroxan glow underneath, and as the sun warms the room, the smoke turns plush and velvety, holding close on the skin.
Key Notes: bergamot, incense, powdery iris, Ambroxan
Composed from: The shadowed citrus of Bergamot Incense and the dark, resinous warmth of Amber Iris, blended into a third scent neither could be alone.
