NATURAL IS THE NEW NICHE

Enliven your senses with 13 fragrances in the perfect 3.3 ml size.

These sprayers are the perfect size for travel and sharing. High quality misters deliver a "full bottle" style veil for ample coverage with just one spray. 

ALBATROSS

Rare, magnificent and auspicious, the albatross bird is the captain of the air. The natural marine accord celebrates that spirit, the fresh coolness of where the ocean meets the sky. Salty Salish Sea breezes meet the soft warm notes of cork, driftwood and cottonwood evoking images of seafaring vessels, creosote-soaked timber, and barnacle covered hulls. Set your sights on the horizon, feel the wind in your sails. 

ANTIMONY

The smoky eye in fragrance form.  Anointing yourself with ANTIMONY is akin to the ancient protective ritual of rimming your eyes with kohl. This talismanic incense perfume draws from the noble history of cosmetica and the aromatic materials which have been used throughout time to create "eye shadow" - the most magical cosmetic of all. 

BLACK SHEEP

Among the rarest of essences - costus root oil possesses the aroma of fine wool. A tincture of raw Icelandic black fleece (humanely sheared from the lovely Penelope) in grape spirits alchemizes the costus with notes of white pepper, clover, cistus, copal and barley which tame the unusual earthiness of the costus and reveal it's underlying spice.  

BONSAI

Bursting conifers and a sacred the tea ceremony harmonize a fresh beginning to an ancient wood base. Your most primitive pleasure centers are activated with touchpoints of spice and incense.

COCO BLANC

For fragrance connoisseurs, Coco Blanc is the “gourmand gold standard” – a fragrance savored and adored all around the world for it's universal beauty.  You will fall in love with this 100% natural perfume’s yummy gourmand notes, soft noble woods, warm chai spices and exotic massoia.

DESTRIER

Evocative of riding through a medieval forest - downwind of sweet grasses curing in the sunshine of nearby fields, DESTRIER is unisex fragrance for lovers of horses, leather notes and grassy, coumarinic drydowns.  

DEVOTION

The ultimate incense perfume: massive and timeless. Revered across cultures. The primaeval depths are almost inexplicable and volumes have been written praising this classic arrangement of two key notes: frankincense and myrrh. Resinous, dry and cold with alternating warm and spicy nuances, it’s an entire universe encapsulated in each waft of scented breeze.  The frankincense, from Oman.  The myrrh, Somalia. 

EPIPHANY

The holy grail of lavender perfumes.  Triple gold medal award winning Hidcote Pink Lavender, organically grown and artisan distilled on the Olympic Peninsula is the crown jewel of this modern chypre formulation. 

JOY OF AMBER

Primitive woods, sappy balsams, rich resins, smoothing gourmand notes, several layered labdanum fractions including hydrocarboresin, a melange of exotic spices, and even a rare fossilized amber from millions of years ago, specially distilled for it's high phenol content and resonant depth.

KAZIMI

Hints of white ginger, ruh gulab (an attar style rose oil) Edward Rose and Rose Bourbania twinkle in the opening. Exceptionally rare, oud-like Green Heart Wood from Kenya is hardly detectable to most noses, yet imparts it’s magic for an amplifying and softening effect that is dreamy, ancient and spacious. Opoponax resinoid is sweet, and smells vintage, hinting at suede. Exotic spices are present during the entire drydown, providing interest without dominating.

ORCA

Dancing between a fresh cleanness and the salty patina of ocean-kissed skin, this fragrance is an intimate experience, washing you with nuanced waves. Subtle by design.  Animalic and erogenous, yet cruelty free.

LINGERIE

Unequaled in her embodiment of femininity, natural Arabian Jasmine (sambac) has been prized for centuries as a devotional anointment, aphrodisiac, antidepressant and mnemonic anchor for hypnosis and magic. Anointing yourself with the crown jewel of perfumery is a sacred act of adornment, as is getting “changed” into lingerie. Both offer the guarantee of embodying audacious femininity from head to toe.

TRILLIUM

An invitation to an enchanted tea party.  Steeped in a long and noble history, the aroma of tea is a favorite of so many around the world.  This tea and white floral fantasy fragrance was brewed to capture the spirit of the elusive Great White Trillium flower.  Fresh in its unfolding; a blend of exotic tea absolutes (red, white, black, green, honeybush) mingle with tart rooibos and exotic natural floral notes of aglaia, mimosa, coffee flower and double blooming Roman chamomile.  Somehow, as if by magic, the bouquet is an exact match the aroma of this mystical and potent flower.
