Independent perfumery, since 2014

What lingers after you leave the room.

Every scent is composed in small batches by the same two noses.

The perfumer's organ: rows of raw materials the house composes from.

The scent

How a composition actually unfolds.

Every scent we sell is built as three real stages, not a single accord — what you smell in the first minute is not what you smell an hour later.

Top notes

The first ten minutes.

Citrus, green, and spice materials — the lightest, most volatile molecules, gone before most people notice they were there at all.

Heart notes

The next several hours.

Florals, spices, and fruits — the actual character of the scent, and the reason most people buy the bottle in the first place.

Base notes

What is still there tomorrow.

Woods, resins, and musks — the heaviest, slowest materials, still faintly on a scarf or a jacket a full day later.

The atelier

Two noses, one organ.

We have never hired a third perfumer — every formula on the books has been smelled and approved by both of us.

The organ — the wall of raw materials a perfumer works from — holds eighty-six bottles right now, most of them refilled from the same suppliers we started with. We turned down a distribution deal in our fourth year because it would have meant tripling batch sizes, and we still think that was the right call.

Client notes

From the people who wear them.

“Fumée Pâle is not for everyone, and I mean that as the highest compliment I can give a fragrance house.”

Private client, since 2024

“Mousse Grise is the only chypre I have found in a decade that actually smells like the ones I grew up with.”

Private client, Paris

“I’ve worn Ambre Nu every winter since 2017 and I still catch someone asking what it is.”
