1899
Regular price £95.00Mythical personalities of long-ago characters have been brought back to life by fragrances evoking each of them. The names given to the perfumes in this Characters Collection are the years of birth for each character.
1899 is inspired by a seductive night out in the City of Lights and represents the hide-and-seek of shadows and light – a heady scent for the nocturnal adventurer. Top notes of Italian bergamot, black pepper and juniper berries gives way to a heart of orange blossom, iris and cinnamon. Base notes of vanilla, vetiver and amber rounds out this amber woody eau de parfum.

Badawi
Regular price £110.00Oud fragrances have become so ubiquitous they’ve almost become a genre unto themselves. A lot of them are followed by words like “extreme”, “noir” or “intense” (sometimes all three at once) and are so loud they announce your arrival while you’re still miles away.
Badawi is an oud that isn’t an oud. It’s made with Gahrau Buaya, which has come to be known as white oud. It’s harvested from an entirely different species of tree. But Badawi utilises a clever roster of smells to create a trajectory of aromas you’d find in oud. A cool, piney whir of cardamom and sweet, tea-like smell of davana lend a cool richness to earthy woods dripping with immortelle’s honeyed sweat.

Regular price £125.00Spiced bergamot and bitter almonds, drunken by amaretto and cherry liquor, take the edge off the cyanide with their sticky sweetness. Warm notes of nutmeg and cardamom sink into the creaminess of tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood.
