AMBER
Slowly shifting from initial notes of spice and greenery to layers of wood and balmy ambergris beneath, Amber was created to reflect and affect your mood as the day progresses.
Maker's Note:
“We wanted to create a scent that was full of energy in the morning (strong, lively citrus notes at the top), calmer by lunchtime, and mellow in the evening (woody and dry tobacco notes at the base). An olfactory mood enhancer.”
"A breezy British accord of grasses, spices and woods, this manages to be both subtle and durable, thanks to the warmth of its eponymous note." - The Times
GORSE
A crisp and zesty citrus with a coconut note and a hint of cardamom, this elegant scent takes you to gorse-dotted holidays in the south of France.
Maker's Note:
“When I was a child, my parents would drive us overnight from London to their holiday house in Provence in a battered Peugeot 205. As we arrived, after the 13-hour drive, we would open the car windows to let in the morning heat, hear the crunch of the pebbles on the drive, and breathe in the tantalisingly fresh smell of the passing gorse bushes. The holiday had begun.”
"Gorse is an olfactory snapshot of a summer evening on seaside moorland covered in heather, and it's achieved with a mix of citrus and spicy notes." - Daily Telegraph Fashion
SAMPHIRE
A pinch of spicy juniper berries, citrus oil and an intoxicating trio of lavender, rosemary and basil, join verbena to layer over white amber and oak moss to culminate in a fragrance that evokes the fresh coastal air.
Maker's Note:
“The idea for our Samphire scent came after a lazy Sunday lunch in Hammersmith rather than a swim off the Suffolk coast. Foregoing coffee for a fresh sprig of verbena from the garden, I was immediately captivated by its fresh and zesty aroma. It all began there.”
TONKA
An exotic fragrance capturing the zing of mandarin and pink peppercorn alongside warm woodland aromatics, finishing with the earthy vanilla of the tonka bean.
Maker's Note:
“Tonka’s story began in a jar of pink peppercorns. Rummaging in the spice cupboard, we discovered that beneath their peppery notes, the dried berries of the Peruvian pepper tree have a finely balanced floral fruitiness to their aroma. The tonka bean provides the elegant and earthy finishing touch.”
ATLAS
Inspired by the scents and scenery of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, this fragrance is built around the aroma of pipe tobacco. Layers of rum, vanilla and hay are topped with cinnamon, ginger and black pepper, wrapped in the woody warmth.
Maker's Note:
“After a family holiday in Morocco, I spent weeks rifling through tins of pipe tobacco in a specialist store in Mayfair to find the right base for a scent that evoked the rich, leathery smells we discovered in the mountains.”
