What is inside. And why.

Warm · resinous · base note

Not a single material but an accord — warm, golden and resinous, usually built from labdanum, vanilla and benzoin. The glow that makes a fragrance feel like skin.

Soft-fruit · downy · heart note

Soft velvet fruit — warm, downy, never sharp. It rounds an amber base the way ripe fruit rounds a dry wine.

Resin · balsamic · base note

Vanilla's resinous cousin — balsamic, faintly smoky, thick. It fixes a fragrance to skin so the trail outlives the shower.

Bright · green-citrus · top note

A fragrant Italian citrus, softer and greener than lemon, that opens countless perfumes with a bright, optimistic lift. The first hello of a great scent.

Tart · juicy · top note

A tart, jewel-dark berry note that adds a juicy, slightly green sparkle. Modern and mouth-watering without tipping into sweet.

Burnt-sugar · rich · base note

Sugar taken just past golden, where it turns faintly bitter at the edges. It anchors fruit and keeps a gourmand from reading as candy.

Aromatic · cool-spice · top-heart

A cool, aromatic Indian spice — fresh and slightly sweet, never heavy. Adds lift and refinement to warm and woody compositions.

Musky · soft-woody · base note

A musk-and-wood accord that behaves like fabric — warm, blurred and close to the skin. It is what makes a vanilla feel wrapped rather than merely sweet.

Dry · pencil-shaving · base note

A dry, clean wood with a soft pencil-shaving warmth that gives fragrances structure and a grounded finish. Quietly masculine, endlessly versatile.

Delicate · powdery-floral · heart note

A whisper-soft floral — barely sweet, faintly powdery, endlessly romantic. The heart of our Japanese Cherry Blossom.

Warm · sweet-spice · heart note

A warm, sweet baking spice that adds cosy depth and a festive glow. Used with restraint, it turns a fragrance comforting rather than heavy.

Citrus · sweet peel · top note

Sweeter and rounder than orange, with less bite. A soft citrus that lifts a top note without sharpening it.

Creamy · tropical · heart note

Not the suntan-lotion cliché but the milky, faintly nutty side of the fruit. It softens sharp citrus and gives a tropical accord its weight.

Roasted · bittersweet · heart-base

A roasted, bittersweet note that brings instant warmth and a moreish edge. Pairs beautifully with vanilla, amber and dark woods.

Powdery · chocolate-floral · heart note

A garden flower carrying a faint cocoa warmth beneath its powder. Rare in perfumery, and unmistakable once you have met it.

Leaf · camphorous · top note

Cold camphor and crushed leaf. It opens the chest and the shower at the same time.

Milky · green · heart note

A green, milky, sun-warmed note that captures the whole tree — leaf, fruit and bark. Effortlessly chic and quietly comforting.

Conifer sap · resinous · base note

Cold forest sap — green, sticky, faintly camphorous. It puts shade and altitude underneath a warm base.

Smoky · sacred-resin · base note

An ancient resin with a smoky, slightly citrus-balsamic depth that feels sacred and still. Adds soul and quiet gravity to a composition.

Floral · dewy · heart note

Peppery, dewy, faintly soapy in the best way. The floral that reads as fresh laundry and first light at once.

White floral · creamy · heart note

Creamy white petals with an almost buttery depth. Fuller than jasmine — and the reason our Oud Noir reads as skin rather than wood.

Rosy-green · aromatic · heart note

A rosy, green, faintly minty floral that bridges fresh and floral worlds. Crisp and versatile, it lends a tailored elegance.

Zesty · pink-citrus · top note

A zesty, slightly bitter pink citrus that snaps a fragrance awake. Sharper and more grown-up than orange, all energy and light.

Golden · waxy-sweet · base note

Sweet, with a waxy and faintly animalic underside that stops it cloying. It rounds white florals and gives tea notes something to rest on.

Resin · smoke · base note

Cool smoke laid over warm resin. The note that makes an oud feel sacred rather than heavy.

Powdery · suede · heart note

One of perfumery's most precious materials — cool, powdery and suede-soft, drawn from aged iris root. Pure quiet luxury.

Heady · white-floral · heart note

The queen of white flowers — rich, heady and faintly animalic, blooming most at night. It gives a perfume its sensual, intoxicating heart.

Crisp · gin-like · top note

The crisp, resinous note behind gin — cool, green and a little peppery. Adds a clean, bracing edge to aromatic fragrances.

Rockrose resin · leathery · base note

Sun-warmed rockrose resin — leathery, honeyed, deeply ambery. The backbone under most amber accords, ours included.

Herbal-floral · calming · top-heart

A clean, herbal-floral note that soothes as much as it scents. Timeless and unisex, it brings a calm, freshly-pressed-linen feeling.

Smoky · suede-to-hide · base note

An accord that ranges from soft suede to smoky hide, adding sensual, confident depth. The note that gives a fragrance a little danger.

Citrus · bitter peel · top note

Sharper and greener than lemon, with a bitter peel edge. It wakes a fresh opening without turning it sweet.

Watery · serene-floral · heart note

A watery, serene floral with a clean, almost dewy character. It brings a meditative calm and a sense of light to a composition.

Sweet · soft-citrus · top note

The sweetest, gentlest citrus — round, juicy and cheerful, without lemon's sharpness. A soft, sunny way to open a fragrance.

Ozonic · airy · top note

The smell of air over water — ozonic, faintly saline, more suggestion than substance. It opens a fragrance wide before the florals arrive.

Sugar accord · soft · base note

Toasted sugar and warm milk. The gourmand accent that reads as comfort rather than dessert.

Blossom · powdery · top note

Sunlit pollen-dust — honeyed, powdery, softly green. It warms the opening of our Japanese Cherry Blossom so the sakura reads spring, not soap.

Soft · skin-like · base note

The soft, warm, skin-like note that makes a fragrance feel like a second skin. We use modern, cruelty-free musks — clean, cosy and intimate.

Balsamic · warm-resin · base note

A warm, balsamic resin with a slightly medicinal, mysterious edge. Older than perfume itself, it adds richness and a sense of ritual.

Honeyed · citrus-floral · heart note

Distilled from bitter-orange blossom, neroli is a bright, honeyed citrus-floral — clean, elegant and quietly joyful. Refinement you can wear daily.

Warm · woody-spice · heart note

A soft, warm, woody spice that rounds out a fragrance with gentle heat. Cosy without the bite of sharper spices.

Earthy · forest-floor · base note

The earthy, forest-floor note at the heart of every classic chypre. Damp, green and grounding, it gives a fragrance timeless sophistication.

Floral · vanillic · heart note

Soft, faintly vanillic, almost skin-like. A floral that stays close instead of announcing itself.

Oud · Agarwood · precious-wood · base note

The most precious wood in perfumery — deep, smoky, resinous and unmistakably luxurious. It anchors our Oudh Black Rose.

Earthy · dark-sweet · base note

An earthy, dark-sweet leaf note with a velvety depth. Modern fractions feel chocolatey and refined — grounding without the seventies haze.

Fruit · juicy · top note

Cold, juicy, just-bitten. It gives a floral opening its snap — the first thing you meet in our Japanese Cherry Blossom.

Fresh · dewy-rose · heart note

A fresh, dewy, rose-adjacent floral with a crisp, watery lightness. Pretty and modern, it brings airy femininity to a bouquet.

Leaf · menthol · top note

Cold air on wet skin. A tingle you feel a beat before you smell it.

Sparkling · rosy-spice · top note

A sparkling, rosy-spicy berry that adds fizz and lift to an opening without real heat. The modern way to make a fragrance shimmer.

Velvety · dark-fruit · heart note

A velvety, slightly boozy dark fruit that adds plush warmth and sensuality. Lush and enveloping, it pairs beautifully with rose and amber.

Red fruit · tart · top note

Tart, seedy, faintly green. A red fruit that cuts through sweetness instead of piling onto it.

Damask rose · the queen · heart note

The queen of flowers — romantic, layered, endlessly reinterpreted, from fresh and dewy to deep and jammy. It blooms across our Bombay Rose and Oudh Black Rose.

Herbal · camphorous · top note

A crisp, camphorous herb that brings an invigorating, just-clipped-garden freshness. Clean and energising at the top of a fragrance.

Leathery · warm-spice · heart note

The world's most precious spice — warm, leathery and subtly sweet, with a radiant golden glow. It lends rose and oud compositions a regal depth.

Creamy · Mysore wood · base note

A creamy, milky, meditative wood — the warm, soft-skin heart of so many great fragrances. The Mysore sandalwood we love runs through our scent world.

Mineral · skin-and-shore · heart note

A mineral, slightly salty-skin accord that evokes warm shoulders and sea air. It gives our Sea Salt Yuzu its addictive, just-off-the-beach pull.

Cool · sweet-herbal · top note

Softer and sweeter than peppermint, without the menthol bite. It reads as cool on the skin as much as it smells cool in the air.

Honeyed · dried-leaf · base note

A honeyed, dried-leaf note — warm, sweet and a little smoky, like an old library. Deeply cosy and quietly indulgent.

Almond-vanilla · sweet · base note

A soft, sweet base note of almond, vanilla and hay, thanks to natural coumarin. It blurs a fragrance into a warm, comforting hum.

Creamy · narcotic-floral · heart note

The most dramatic white flower — creamy, heady and almost narcotic. Unapologetically opulent, it commands a room with confidence.

Sweet · creamy · base note

The world's most loved sweet note — warm, creamy and comforting, far more complex than dessert. It softens and rounds almost anything it touches.

Smoky-green · root · base note

A smoky, earthy, green-rooted note that feels both rugged and refined. It grounds a fragrance with a cool, sophisticated drydown.

Powdery · green-floral · heart note

A powdery, sweet-green floral with a nostalgic, candied softness. Delicate and retro-romantic, it adds a vintage tenderness.

Dewy · green-aquatic · heart note

Cleaner and greener than lotus, with a wet-stem freshness behind the petal. The floral to reach for when a scent should feel washed rather than worn.

Leaf · pale · heart note

Pale watery green with a whisper of smoke. The note that stops a sweet floral turning sugary — clean, without smelling of laundry.

Banana-floral · exotic · heart note

A rich, exotic, slightly banana-sweet tropical flower. Sunlit and sensual, it adds a warm, golden fullness to floral hearts.

Japanese citrus · zesty · top note

A Japanese citrus — like grapefruit, mandarin and lime at once, bright and a little floral. It sparkles at the top of our Sea Salt Yuzu.
