BrumeNoire
Cold iris over wet vetiver root, read on the strip as grey rather than green.
Read the composition
Six fragrances. Nothing seasonal.
The library has not changed since 2019. We reformulate only when a material is restricted or a supplier stops, and we say so on the page when we do.
The atelier
Everything is weighed, blended, macerated and filled in one room in Mysuru. A batch is 400 bottles, which is small enough that the perfumer signs off on each one before it is filled.
We buy sandalwood and vetiver within the state, and jasmine sambac from growers in Madurai who pick after dark. The rest — orris, labdanum, oud — is imported, and the origin is printed on the box.
From the journal
Why we macerate for twelve weeks
A finished concentrate is not a finished fragrance. Left to rest, the materials bind and the sharp edges of the top notes settle into the heart.
ReadOakmoss, and working inside a restriction
IFRA limits oakmoss to a fraction of what classic chypres used. Rebuilding that effect legally means reaching for angelica, violet leaf and patience.
ReadReading a fragrance on the strip
A mouillette tells you the structure; skin tells you how it will actually wear. Both are necessary, and they rarely agree in the first ten minutes.

All six at 2 ml, with a strip of blotters. The cost is credited against your first full bottle.
