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.
-
Crisp. Green. Fresh. Natural.
Collection: Top (fresh)Walk into a Mediterranean garden at the end of a hot day. Crushed fig leaves, basil between your fingers, the green snap of herbs still warm from the sun.
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.
A slow, meditative walk through leaves that still hold the afternoon.
Key Notes: fig leaf, neroli, orange blossom absolute, basil, petitgrain, vetiver
-
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
-
Sunny. Radiant. Floral.
Collection: MellowWarm skin on hot sand, white flowers opening somewhere close. The air is thick, golden, and tropical.
Jasmine Sambac absolute and osmanthus absolute bloom rich and radiant, folded into frangipani and the creamy warmth of coconut until the whole bouquet turns soft and skin-like, glowing into a milky, sunlit trail.
Sand-coated skin at midday, radiant and unhurried.
Key Notes: jasmine Sambac absolute, osmanthus absolute, frangipani, coconut
-
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
-
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
-
Mineral. Warm. Soft Leathery. Woody.
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.
Key Notes: Indian sandalwood, pink peppercorn, vetiver, leather, Ambroxan
-
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.
Key Notes: amber, vanilla, frankincense, myrrh, labdanum, iris absolute
-
Woody. Leathery. Aromatic.
Collection: Base (deep)A glass of absinthe in a leather armchair. Bitter green herbs rising off it, old wood and smoke soaked into the room.
Aromatic wormwood oil gives the green sharpness of absinthe, while cypriol roots bring an earthy, balsamic depth, bolstered by Virginia and Atlas cedar and patchouli. It begins fresh and herbaceous, then softens into a sensual woody-tobacco signature that lingers low and long.
Rich, leathery and quietly powerful, a scent with a low voice.
Key Notes: absinth, cypriol, Virginia cedar, Atlas cedar, patchouli, tobacco
