FRAGRANCE NOTES
SOUTH AMERICAN MATE LEAF
ITALIAN BERGAMOT
NEROLI
JASMIN SAMBAC
INSPIRATION
While studying traditional perfume manufacturing in Grasse, France, we were introduced to the building blocks used to create fragrances by combining raw materials in "accords".
An accord is a balanced blend of two or three ingredients that become a new, more complex odor statement. Mate and jasmin, when combined, became an intense emotion – particularly when the jasmin was the much more animalic Jasmin Sambac with its indolic heart.
Starting with this 'accord', the fragrance grew in depth with the addition of narcissus and other gems.
SILLAGE

The Meaning of Clean Fragrance
The beauty industry has begun to use the “clean” label.
“Clean” is the intersection of ethics, safety, sustainability, and transparency. Because it has no standardized meaning and yet is of crucial importance to us, the word merits an explanation.
