Description This project was born of the pleasure of smelling old toiletry bottles and jars. The residues that remain, the 'filthy' bottoms of resins and balms, are reminders of times when animal materials were widely used in perfumery. The amber and musky notes are the essence of this project, and these bases are set in a décor of wood and wax, extending the imagination of this ancient worlds.

Facets: Glimpses of bygone times. Wax-finished wood. Feline presence. Fur and powdered accents. Amber heart. Notes of feur and fesh.

Lucy ★★★★★

I was nervous about the civet note, but it’s blended so smoothly with the labdanum that it just adds a warm, almost furry depth. The patchouli and sandalwood dry down lasts for hours on my skin, and I keep catching whiffs of it well into the evening. This one feels properly old-school and rich witho

Charlotte E. ★★★★★

The orange blossom and violet open bright and almost soapy, but the dry-down is where this shines—that patchouli and sandalwood base turns creamy and deep, and it lasts well past eight hours on my skin. I’ve gotten three compliments in one day wearing it, which has never happened with anything else

Miles ★★★★★

The labdanum and civet give it this warm, almost animalic depth that I keep catching on my scarf hours later, and the sandalwood keeps it grounded instead of going powdery on me. It's the kind of scent that feels like it's been on your skin for days even when you've just sprayed it.
