Nordic Cedar wears like a moment suspended in time. An olfactory freeze-frame capturing a bracing, refreshing breeze drifting through a forest.

There are three main players that make Nordic Cedar tick. The cool blast of cardamom and warmth of cedar wood bridged by patchouli. Patchouli is an interesting character. It might surprise you to learn that, despite its reputation for hanging out with hippies in head shops, patchouli is actually part of the mint family. While it has an undeniable earthiness to it, patchouli also has a spacious, airy quality.

Nordic Cedar is a masterclass in observation and fine-tuning. Its materials are applied not only for their scent, but also for the atmosphere they create.

Leather, but not as you’ve ever dared to know it.

You’ve probably never stuck your nose inside someone else’s leather jacket. We have. We’re just curious like that. That’s how Scent Tattoo smells to us.

Scent Tattoo uses a big dollop of cedar wood and some seriously sexy musks to create a warm, rugged, lived-in quality humming with bodily warmth. Add to that a nice hit of sandalwood with a twist of spiced lily accord. Is your heart racing yet?

The real magic is brought about by the addition of mimosa. You might think it odd to imagine finding bright, fluffy mimosa mixed into a heavy leather fragrance, but in Scent Tattoo it's used more for its texture. Its extracts smell naturally of leather, and it adds a deep, plush vibe that gives Scent Tattoo a real three-dimensional quality.

Scent Tattoo is a garment fragrance to be sprayed on jumpers, scarves, blankets or even your socks.

Scent Tattoo won the 2018 Art & Olfaction Award for Artisan Perfume. Its perfumer, Christophe Laudamiel, was awarded winner for Contribution to Scent Culture at the 2017 award ceremony.

Captured by Candlelight hits at just the right side of appetising.

Balance and restraint are the key to making any perfume with gourmand elements work. The last thing anyone wants to smell like is a cupcake. Well, maybe some people do. No judgement. (We’re totally judging).

Captured by Candlelight is a perfume inspired by perfumer (and writer) Sarah McCartney’s story of the same name. There’s a scene in the story where a huge, flaming Christmas pudding is being wheeled into a candlelit, oak-panelled dining room. She’s told that part of the story with smells.

We love its considered construction of notes - the gummy, stewed fruits, flaming treacle, oak panels and freshly extinguished candles. You really smell the story when you wear it.

A perfect union of narrative and execution.

Notes:

• Cognac, Cinnamon, Toffee

Bright citrus notes mixed with a radiant, expansive yuzu for a head-clearing dreamscape swirled within a Sofia Coppola-esque gauzed haze of gentle green notes, pliant woods and murmur of incense from 100 meters off.

Realist is a bit of a contradiction within a collection based on contradictions. It’s a scent for a sun-blanketed nap in the grass on a warm day, dreaming of being in a far-flung location but waking up to finding it absolutely perfect right where you are.

Temptation is so smooth it practically purs out of the bottle. It was first developed as an accord in another 4160Tuesdays scent called Take Me to the River. Take Me to the River is a perfume about falling for someone who’s really no good for you, and Temptation brought the tempting bit.

“You know how a backing band is sometimes so good that it gathers a fan base, leaves its headline singer behind and goes on tour by itself? That’s what happened with Temptation. No plants were harmed in the creation of this fragrance and it has no allergens. Everyone can wear it. You can use it on its own, or add it to a lighter, flighty fragrance to help it last longer and waft further. It’s gorgeous.” Sarah McCartney, 4160Tuesdays.

And what a cracking idea if you want to experiment with some of your past drops and try boosting them up to Take Me to Mars level!

Pure beach blanket bliss! Bain de Midi is a perfume that makes us smile from ear to ear. Tiare, coconut, and gardenia within a sun-baked glaze of vanilla. A joyously unpretentious delight.

Bain de Midi is a reminder that not every fragrance needs to be complex and deeply nuanced to be powerfully transportative. This one takes us straight back to those first exuberant strides to the sea after mum coated our shoulders in sunscreen.

Real optimism is about more than just something to make you smile. It’s about more than just having a giggle. The top-to-bottom woods explored in Vaunt’s The Optimist is an uber intelligent spin on the subject that will make you think twice.

Woody smells make us think about trees. Trees are great. But, trees also have deep roots, they stand tall and reach way up into the sky. Trees are tenacious, strong and reassuring.

And that’s what The Optimist evokes for us. Mix in a dash of understated sophistication, and you’ve got one cracking perfume.

So, throw those shoulders back. Head up. Go get ‘em, tiger.
